Publisher Description

An intimate journey across America, as told by one of its most beloved writers
 
To hear the speech of the real America, to smell the grass and the trees, to see the colors and the light—these were John Steinbeck's goals as he set out, at the age of fifty-eight, to rediscover the country he had been writing about for so many years.

With Charley, his French poodle, Steinbeck drives the interstates and the country roads, dines with truckers, encounters bears at Yellowstone and old friends in San Francisco. Along the way he reflects on the American character, racial hostility, the particular form of American loneliness he finds almost everywhere, and  the unexpected kindness of strangers.

A classic.

I never knew what I was missing until I came across this book. This should be required reading for all school age, children, middle school in above. The author strives to reflect the truth of his country, and not the push of the American media. Brave and brilliant.

❤️❤️❤️

I found this book quite delightful. It took me 46 years to realize I’m such a fan of Steinbeck, and this book truly solidified that. I will be listening to this again.
