Fiction. LGBTQIA Studies. "Since the late 1960s, Jonathan Strong has been writing quietly brilliant novels that bring ordinary people to life with extraordinary care...The most recent addition to his impressive body of work is QUIT THE RACE, the story of a loving long-term couple weighing the best interests of their relationship against the desire of each to live the life he wants...Strong uses this drama to explore the nature of love and compromise, the longing to connect, and the need for independent identity and control. In doing so, he makes this intensely intimate novel a work of universal relevance that is both moving and profound."—Stephen McCauley
