@meaghan_garvey Yeah I hadn’t heard of him until recently. The back catalog is good too. “Thou shalt not have too much time to kill” is a favorite line of many

@amandafortini Worked at The Strand in the late 90s and sold countless copies of Air Guitar. And I'm still rereading it.

Today, we publish MIDWESTERN DEATH TRIP, by @meaghan_garvey. It's a brilliant, haunting, raucous debut, part coming-of-age memoir and part 1940s film noir jail-break, from one of our greatest cultural critics working today. Get it here:

"But then I’m always falling for the people I find in the dark corners of the Midwest, a whole universe of strangers beneath what presents as a region of small-town familiarity."

-From Midwestern Death Trip, by @meaghan_garvey, out May 12 and excerpted here in @countyhwy:

[County Highway @countyhwy]

Our latest, an extended 24-page springtime issue, features a quest to the core of The Golden Pineapple by David Samuels, an excerpt from @meaghan_garvey's forthcoming ‘Midwestern Death Trip,’ @Gitchos reporting on Telluride’s ski patrol wars, a heart-wrenching short-story by Donald Ray Pollock, @FarahnMorgan getting real with 49 Winchester, plus an ode to the great @bobweir by Josh Kaufman.

There’s a whole lot more within the fold, of course, for which you’ll just have to subscribe. Otherwise, find a copy at your nearest bookstore, record shop, or feed and grain.
