Speed is a first-person novel about two brothers growing up half a century ago--the story of the narrator and his brother Speed, a magnificent boy in every respect, except one. And Speed's one defect leads him to a mad act of nihilism that is remembered by his brother for a lifetime.

In a poignant coming-of-age novel set in the second quarter of this century, the narrator recalls his younger brother, Speed, whose athletic and intellectual abilities were undermined by a disabling stutter. "True to period details and his narrator's emotions, Harris shows us that life replete with success in love and work can yet be ruled by sorrow," said PW.
