Spirit Run: A 6,000-Mile Marathon Through North America's Stolen Land by Noé Álvarez

2.0

I wanted so much more from this memoir. I felt like it couldn't decide if it was a coming of age tale, a nature book, or a study in conflict and first-people's culture. Also, it felt like I was supposed to know and care about the circle of characters around Noe on the trail, but I never felt close to them. The entire memoir felt a little scattershot and kept me at an arm's distance and I struggled to finish it. Disappointing.
