You are cordially invited to a reading & signing by Ben Batchelder of his recently launched American adventure, Borderlands USA: Or, How to Protect the Country by Car, hosted by the Roger Smith Hotel and Earthdog Press.

Refreshments will be served in the ground floor Lily’s Room, where a stunning exhibition by Ben’s friend Roxa Smith currently hangs. After the reading, for those interested, the party will move to the hotel’s rooftop bar (16th floor) before its 8pm closing.

Come travel with Ben on a journey which, circumnavigating the Lower 48 by silver-plated Beetle, begins in New York City and ends there with a profound sense of gratitude.

About Ben

Ben Batchelder has traveled some of the world's most remote roads. Nothing in his background, from a degree in Visual & Environmental Studies at Harvard to an MBA from Wharton, adequately prepared him for the experiences. Yet he persists, for through such journeys life unfolds. Having published four books that map the inner and exterior geographies of meaningful travel, he is a mountain man in Minas Gerais, Brazil who comes down to the sea at Miami Beach, Florida. His second travel yarn, To Belém & Back, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly. For more, visit www.benbatchelder.com.
