Like priests, movers shepherd us through life’s transitions like cowboys, truckers drive the roads we’ll never know. he stories Murphy tells … my goodness, how astonishing they are, and how moving, and how funny, and how just plain weird. The Long Haul can be almost shamefully enjoyable, allowing readers to have their fix of ‘fabulous-life-of’ porn and class outrage, too…. The New York Times Book Review commented: Just the opening chapter alone is getting some buzz among the Island Books staff, and we aren’t the only ones getting excited. Next Monday, August 21st, from 6:30 to 8:00pm, Finn Murphy will be at the store to talk about his new memoir, The Long Haul: A Trucker’s Tales of Life on the Road. Another late-breaking event has appeared on our schedule that deserves some traction (no pun intended), especially for fans of Hillbilly Elegy by J.D.
