Barnes and Noble discovers UI writer
The memoir of UI lecturer Brandon R. Schrand has been recently chosen as a Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers selection.
Entitled “The Enders Hotel,” Schrand’s memoir began as his master’s of fine arts thesis at the University of Idaho. He now serves as coordinator of the MFA Creative Writing program at the university.
The book will be published by University of Nebraska Press this spring.
The memoir is set in rural boomtown Soda Springs, Idaho, where he and his family owned, operated and lived in the town’s historic hotel. He recounts how his life intersected with the homeless and defeated souls who inhabited and defined the hotel.
The memoir is one of 18 works from 150 nominated chosen to be a featured selection in Barnes and Noble bookstores nationwide throughout the summer.
