UNP is all over the news this week…

First off, tonight Paul Johnsgaurd, author of the brand-new book, Sandhill and Whopping Cranes (as well as many other University of Nebraska Press titles), will be at the University Bookstore in Lincoln for a reading and a signing at 7. Come out and support a local professor and author!

The blog Our Man in Boston gave a shout-out to our Flyover Fiction Series. Flyover Fiction, edited by Ron Hansen, features contemporary fiction set on the Great Plains, a region located in the center of the country and referred to either sentimentally as the Heartland or dismissively as flyover country.
