Lee Durkee's debut novel Rides of the Midway was one of Square Books' favorites last year and one of our top sellers. Set in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, it tells the story of a boy's struggle toward manhood and beautifully—very often hysterically—captures every nuance. If you missed his reading the first time, we're happy to announce that he'll return in support of the paperback edition of the book.
