Deputy Dump by Richard Menzies

Public Radio’s KUER in Salt Lake City interviewed Stephens Press author Richard Menzies recently. Menzies is the author/photographer of Passing Through: An Existential Journey Across America’s Outback. The beautiful book won awards for best regional and best travel books when it was published and features an eclectic mix of characters from the barren wastelands of the vast area known as America’s Outback. “Nevada’s backcountry is sparsely populated yet surprisingly rich in diversity,” Menzies writes. “Her social fabric is a colorful tapestry of cultures and ethnicities, fringed by eccentrics who simply defy categorization. Think of the Silver State as a haven for those irregular souls who could never be content with a nine-to-five job or a three-bedroom, split-level in suburbia.” Listen Here
