It shouldn’t be surprising that Busboys and Poets now has more writers. The popular restaurant/arts venue has recently added a bookstore featuring hardcover and paperback books. The book selection is fairly highbrow featuring celebrated authors such as Junot Diaz, Umberto Eco and Jeffrey Eugenides.

The genres include world history, peace studies, the environment, arts and, as would be expected, poetry. There is also an extensive kids and young adult section, which is in keeping with the Hyattsville Busboys’ focus on families.
