Eric Obenauf, at the Columbus, Ohio, indie Two Dollar Radio, bought world rights to Scott McClanahan’s memoir, Crapalachia. McClanahan, who did not use an agent in the deal, has had his work appear in magazines like Bomb and Vice; he has a novel, Hill William, coming out from Tyrant Books this year. Obenauf said the memoir—it chronicles the author’s late teen years in West Virginia living with his grandmother and uncle, who had cerebral palsy—“interweaves oral folklore and area history, providing a powerful snapshot of overlooked Americana.” Crapalachia is scheduled for March 2013.
