The Tunnel :Selected Poems
Russell Edson
A pure delight for any cyclist or history buff, Herlihy's prose explores the days when cyclist-adventurers (called 'wheelmen') were modern-day Magellans. There were many bicycle expeditions made in the late 19th century, and Herlihy gives us a sampling of each, but the most invigorating of all is the tale of Frank Lenz, who abandoned his desk job in Pittsburgh for enlightenment-attainment and record-setting purposes. His disappearance somewhere in Central Asia prompted a national fever of speculation, one that I was easily swept up in as I read. -Reviewed by Owen
