This week, the Eric Hof­fer Book Award announced its hon­orees. The Noth­ing With­in was rec­og­nized for:

Found­ed in 2004, the Eric Hof­fer Book Award is one of the largest inter­na­tion­al awards for small, aca­d­e­m­ic, and inde­pen­dent press­es. Named in hon­or of the Amer­i­can philoso­pher Eric Hof­fer. The awards are pre­sent­ed by The Eric Hof­fer Project with sup­port from The US Review of Books.
