On this 4.3 mile, easy-paced book club run with organizer Chelsey Stone, we explore the neighborhood haunts of the individuals narrated in three of the fourteen chapters in Edward P. Jones’s Lost in the City: “The First Day,” “Lost in the City”, and “The Night Rhonda Ferguson was Killed.”
The book is so beautiful—and often heartbreaking—in its portrayal of the fictional lives of residents in DC’s Shaw neighborhood. Thirteen unconnected chapters capture a snapshot of each character’s trials and tribulations—from a child’s first day of school, to woman who cannot seem to get lost in her own town, to an aimless teenager who loses a talented friend.
