Small bit of good news

Forgot to say: paperback is out...

[Andy Adams @FlakPhoto]

Current read — @mcgrathben's book about rivers and the men who run them. A perfect book for this time of year. I love river reading and travel memoirs. This one's a bit of both. Loving it so far. Thanks, Ben! @VintageAnchor

“I like what being a champion rib-breaker says about my life,” he writes. “Rib breaks and their pain are a reminder of my foolhardiness, perhaps, or my addiction to adventure, or my need for comeuppance for having led such a fortunate, happy life.”

“You’re going to die,” everyone warns Rinker Buck, before and during his 2,000-mile river journey on a wooden flatboat. His new book, “Life on the Mississippi,” recounts his experience. https://t.co/vje6wSkbvs

"Riverman: An American Odyssey" is an incredible true story expertly told by New Yorker writer @mcgrathben. So good.#HighlyRecommended

[Ben McGrath @mcgrathben]

@Robert_Raible yes, sir. I've read it twice.

[NY Public Library @nypl]

'Riverman: An American Odyssey' by @mcgrathben is the riveting story of Dick Conant, an American folk hero who, over the course of more than 20 years, solo-canoed thousands of miles of American rivers—and then in 2016 disappeared.
