BRONX RIVER PRESS SELECTS FIRST TITLE FOR PUBLICATION:
WALKING MAN, A NOVEL BY TIM W. BROWN
Bronx River Press (BxRP) has selected its first title for
publication, Walking Man, a novel by Tim W. Brown.
Walking Man is scheduled for publication in April 2008.
From the same metafictional universe as the films Best in
Show and This is Spinal Tap, Walking Man
documents the life and times of Brian Walker, publisher of the
zine Walking Man. Through a fateful encounter between his
foot and a yuppie's BMW, Brian becomes the most famous zine
publisher in America. Set in Chicago during the late 1980s and
early 1990s, this "mock biography" satirizes alternative culture
while it displays affection for the zine scene, which the
Internet has all but replaced in recent years.

Walking Man.
Tim W. Brown is the author of two previously published
novels, Deconstruction Acres and Left of the Loop.
Before moving to New York in 2003 he lived in Chicago for
eighteen years. From 1982 to 1999 he published Tomorrow
Magazine, a poetry zine, and he helped to organize the
Underground Press Conference, a gathering of zine publishers
held annually in the 1990s. Presently, he writes fiction,
reviews books and serves on the Executive Council of the Small
Press Center in New York City.
Bronx River Press is a new publisher located in the Bronx,
New York. Its mission is to publish high-quality trade paperback
editions of challenging but readable contemporary fiction. BxRP
believes that readers of serious fiction are underserved by the
current publishing climate, having to choose between
"mainstream" or "experimental" fiction. The press aims to
fulfill the demand it sees for a different kind of fiction than
what is currently being published. |
