September 2023

Look at that, our newsletter this month falls on publication day for Richard Robison’s gorgeous memoir: The Boy from Nowhere! 

“The Boy from Nowhere surprised the heck out of me…Offered with modesty and narra­tive grace, charged with heart-stopping events and characters.”

– Stephanie Marlis, National Endowment for the Arts recipient, author of Rife.

The Boy from Nowhere

For young Richard, every year it’s the same story: as soon as he settles into his surroundings, with its friendships, school, sports teams, and all those customs that make a place home, he is forced to move. As a boy who is wiser beyond his years, he sees his parents’ strain to follow the upwardly mobile quest of the American Dream – but at what cost? This memoir reveals what it was like to be a teenager in 1960s America. It is a book about disconnection and loss, but also of hope and change: the person we once were does not dictate the person we will become. This recognition is what ultimately holds our destiny.
