Travels with Charley: In Search of America
Author(s): John Steinbeck
In 1960, the author set out to rediscover his native land. He felt that he might have lost touch with its sights, sounds and the essence of its people. Accompanied only by his dog, Charley, he travelled all across the United States in a pick-up truck. His journey took him through almost forty states. This book collects what he saw and experienced.
*STAFF PICK*
Steinbeck's observations and insights gleaned from an early 1960's road trip across America are as relevant today as they were then. Compelling and thought provoking reading! Anne
