“Brian Benson’s memoir about riding from the hinterlands of Wisconsin to Portland, Oregon on his bicycle is as poignant as it is gripping, as hilarious as it is wise. Going Somewhere is a tender, sexy, take-it-with-you-everywhere-you-go-until-you’ve-read-the-last-page beauty of a book.”

— Cheryl Strayed, bestselling author of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things

“This Is Not For You tells a story that punctures the myths of Portland, Oregon as a progressive utopia. From education to police policy, Brown dismantles systemic racism in a story that drives to the heart, because he was there—and tried to fix it. Put this book on your must-read list.”

— Rene Denfeld, death row investigator and bestselling author of The Child Finder
