Mark Brawner alerts me to a pub date for Vollmann’s trade-hopping book. Riding Toward Everywhere is set to be issued by Ecco on January 1, 2008. To get a small taste of the book, you can check out this excerpt from the January 2007 issue of Harper’s. Or if you don’t have a Harper’s subscription (which, with full access to the archives, is worth every penny incidentally), here’s an alternate link.
