This is not a book by Ben McGrath. It is an independent work by Richard Mitchell.
About the book Riverman is a moving portrait of a complex and fascinating man who was as troubled as he was charismatic, who struggled with mental illness and self-doubt, and was ultimately unable to fashion a stable life for himself; who traveled alone and yet thrived on connection and brought countless people together in his wake. It is also a portrait of an America we rarely a nation of unconventional characters, small river towns, and long-forgotten waterways.
