Ron McLarty

Ron McLarty

Ron McLarty (born April 26, 1947) is an American actor, playwright and author. Although he enjoyed a successful career as an actor, he had not had much luck finding a publisher for his novel "The Memory of Running", until Stephen King happened upon an audiobook version (narrated my McLarty himself), and praised it as "the best book you can't read". [MacDonald, Jay, "Book Page" feature and interview with McLarty, http://www.bookpage.com/0501bp/ron_mclarty.html ("retrieved 3/9/2008")] This led to the book's publication by Viking Press, and its rapid rise to bestseller status. McLarty is an accomplished narrator - besides "Running", he has provided the narrative for a number of audiobooks, and his rendition of Hunter Thompson's "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" perfectly complements the author's unique style.
