“I loved the swagger of the author’s unique, debut voice…”

—Lindsay Powers, Amazon Editor

“If you’ve ever fantasized about ditching your corporate job for a quieter life in the country, Mailman could be the memoir for you…I’m only a few chapters in, but Grant’s honesty and humor already have me hooked—not to mention the opening scene, which finds him barreling down a dirt road to deliver a two-handed sword and trading Lord of the Rings quotes with its recipient.”

— Dave Mezz, deputy editor, GARDEN & GUN 

“A love song to America’s least understood treasure. I will never take my mail carrier for granted again.”

—David Von Drehle, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Charlie

“Mailman pulses with humor and the beauty of simple, everyday courage. In the heart of a small mountain town, Steve Grant’s route as a rural mail carrier becomes a journey of personal redemption, of finding purpose and dignity.”

—Jonathan Safran Foer, New York Times bestselling author of Everything Is Illuminated

“People like to make fun of the Postal Service for being late with deliveries. Well, this book could not be more timely. I needed this reminder that Americans can commit to the greater good, that public servants can be heroes, and that our crazy-quilt culture is a strength, not a weakness. Thank you, Mr. Mailman.”

—AJ Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of The Year of Living Constitutionally

“A charming book that’s guaranteed to make you think differently about the USPS.”

— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“A coming-of-age (at middle age) story... Mailman more than delivers.”

— Booklist (starred review)

“In this good-natured memoir... Grant illustrates how the work helped him feel useful to a town he’d left behind and reignited his sense of vitality. This has charm to spare.”
