Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Arelentlessly curious, endlessly sensitive, and unequivocally adventurous examiner of human existence, William T. Vollmann now takes to the rails. In the company of experienced fellow train-hopper Steve, Vollmann trawls the secretive waters of a unique underground lifestyle--subjecting both our national romance with and skepticism about the hobo life to his finely tuned, analytical eye. Carrying on in the footloose tradition of Huckleberry Finn, he offers a moving, strikingly modern vision of the American dream, brilliantly exploring both our deeply ingrained romanticizing of "freedom" and the myriad ways we restrict the very freedoms we profess to admire. Vollmann is a relentlessly curious, endlessly sensitive, and unequivocally adventurous examiner of human existence. In his work, he offers readers a gorgeously written immersion in the trainhopping, hobo life. 66 b&w photos.
