The novel begins in 1917 with the death of Mary, the first novel’s main character, and focuses on the father of her child, Moreland. He sets out to steal enough cash to give his son a comfortable life. But their boy, who has his parents’ stubbornness and itch for self- sufficiency, doesn’t stay put for long. READ OUR INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR GIL ADAMSON Homeland Elegies AYAD AKHTAR (LITTLE, BROWN AND COMPANY) This novel by the Pulitzer-winning author of Disgraced provocatively blends fact and fiction, paradox and contradiction, appearing to be a memoir of a man with the same name and pedigree as its author – a Pulitzer-winning American playwright of Pakistani-Muslim extraction whose father, a doctor, became enamoured with Donald Trump after treating him for a heart ailment, and then disillusioned after he assumes the presidency. READ OUR INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR AYAD AKHTAR Leave The World Behind RUMAAN ALAM (HARPERCOLLINS) The author of Rich and Pretty and That Kind of Mother is back with a look at what happens when a pair of white renters, Clay and Amanda, are startled by the unexpected arrival of the Black property owners, who claim they’re escaping a mysterious blackout in New York.

  • 96 Days … 15 Modes of Transportation … 12 Time Zones … 2 Kids … 1 Family … and Not a Single Airplane
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 13,000 MILES … 96 DAYS … 15 MODES OF TRANSPORTATION … 12 TIME ZONES … 2 KIDS … 1 FAMILY … AND NOT A SINGLE AIRPLANE Travel Channel’s New Series ‘Big Crazy Family Adventure’ Follows the Kirkby Family on Their Incredible, Awe-Inspiring Journey to a Remote Region in the Himalaya – All Via Surface – Premieres Sunday, June 21 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT CHEVY CHASE, MD (April 14, 2015) – Trekking through the Himalaya (with a short stop at Mt. Everest’s base camp), sailing the Ganges River, crossing the North Pacific Ocean on a container ship, meditating with monks in a Tibetan monastery – these are not the typical activities you might expect during a family vacation with two young children. But the Kirkby family is on an extraordinary adventure halfway around the globe – and inviting everyone to come along. Travel Channel’s mesmerizing and cinematic new series, “Big Crazy Family Adventure,” premiering Sunday, June 21 with back-to- back episodes at 9:00 p.m. & 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, follows wilderness guide, writer and award-winning photographer Bruce Kirkby throughout this epic trip – from his home in Kimberley, British Columbia, to a remote monastery in the Himalaya – with his wife, Christine Pitkanen, and their two young boys: Bodi, 7 and Taj, 3. There’s just one catch: on their 13,000-mile adventure they won’t be taking ANY airplanes. To fully experience the life-changing and serendipitous moments that exploring the world provides, they’ll get to their final destination through surface travel only – canoe, container ship, ferry, high-speed train, river boat, tuk tuk, pony, their own eight feet and more.
