We Begin Our Ascent by Joe Mungo Reed
A professional cyclist rides the Tour de France as a domestique, chasing marginal gains while confronting the lure and logic of performance-enhancing drugs. At home, his geneticist wife faces her own pressures and ethical gray areas, and together they negotiate the costs of ambition on their marriage and future. Their intertwined choices trace the thin line between dedication and self-deception, and the price exacted by the pursuit of excellence.
