GIVEAWAY: 3 Audio Book copies of The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris


I have a giveaway for 3 Audio Book copies of The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris courtesy of Anna from Hachette Book Group. This book is on my tbr pile, soon to be read. I am playing major catch up so far this year. lol. Anyhow, it sounds like a really good novel and I’m anxious to read it and it’s read by the author himself which is great.

Here’s a bit about The Unnamed from Hachette…

Joshua Ferris’ debut novel Then We Came to the End was both heralded by critics and a New York Times bestseller, and marked the arrival of a startlingly talented young writer. With THE UNNAMED, Ferris imagines the collision between one man’s free will and the forces of nature that are bigger than any of us.

Tim Farnsworth walks. He walks out of meetings and out of bed. He walks in sweltering heat and numbing cold. He will walk without stopping until he falls asleep, wherever he is. This curious affliction has baffled medical experts around the globe–and come perilously close to ruining what should be a happy life. Tim has a loving family, a successful law career and a beautiful suburban home, all of which he maintains spectacularly well until his feet start moving again.

What drives a man to stay in a marriage, in a job? What forces him away? Is love or conscience enough to overcome the darker, stronger urges of the natural world? THE UNNAMED is a deeply felt, luminous novel about modern life, ancient yearnings, and the power of human understanding.

About the Author
