press release:
Nina Revoyr is the best-selling author of four previous novels. Her latest novel, Lost Canyon, has been praised as “a gripping tale of unintended adventure and profound transformation” in a starred review from Booklist. I am thrilled to announce that Revoyr will bring Lost Canyon to A Room of One’s Own Bookstore on Monday, October 12.
With Lost Canyon, best-selling author Nina Revoyr returns with a Deliverance for the age of Obama: a suspenseful adventure tale of one group’s journey through the Sierra Nevada gone horribly wrong. Gwen, Oscar, and Todd leave Los Angeles under Tracy’s promise of a weekend of rejuvenation and inspiration away from the city stresses of their everyday lives. Their day-to-day worries begin to melt away and they enter the sublime Sierra Nevada, the beauty of which is captured by Revoyr’s masterful use of language. But when the four venture deeper into the wilderness, the various stresses of their city lives are replaced by true terror and adrenaline as they fight for survival.
Lost Canyon has received praise from all four trades, including a starred review from Booklist, which called Revoyr “an edgy and spellbinding writer with an uncanny gift for aligning human struggles with nature’s glory and perils.” Nina Revoyr’s last novel, Wingshooters, won an Indie Booksellers’ Choice Award and a Midwest Booksellers Choice Award, was one of O, The Oprah Magazine’s “10 Titles to Pick Up Now,” and was a Booklist Editors’ Choice for 2011. Her previous novels include Southland (a BookSense 76 pick and a Los Angeles Times “Best Book” of 2003) and The Age of Dreaming, a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist.
