Barnes & Noble Highlights Two UNP Titles in Summer 2008 Discover Great New Writers Selections

We're proud to announce that Barnes & Noble has included two forthcoming UNP titles as Summer 2008 Discover Great New Writers Selections. Featured in promotions from May-July 2008 will be:

Enders_hotelThe Enders Hotel: A Memoir
By Brandon R. Schrand

“Gorgeously written and generous in its telling, Schrand’s memoir takes us deep into the heart of a boomtown gone bust and a family surviving on little more than stubbornness and a desire to do the next right thing. The Enders Hotel is a heartbroken love song to a time gone by, a place lost, and a people whose longings ring true long after the last page ends.”—Kim Barnes, author of In the Wilderness: Coming of Age in Unknown Country

Bicycling_beyond_the_divideBicycling beyond the Divide: Two Journeys into the West
By Daryl Farmer

Bicycling beyond the Divide did what all great books do: it told me about me. In its tale of a journey made by two different men—both of them Daryl Farmer—this book offers us not only moving vistas and meaningful people, but also hope, that rarest of literary commodities these days. I didn't want this to end.”—Bret Lott, author of Jewel
