Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

364 pages. Engagingly curious open-mindedness . . . an amiable deadpan worthy of Richard Ford. --Pico Iyer, Time in this offbeat and original road book, cultural obser ver Mike Bryan takes issue with the traditional idea that the real America is to be found somewhere on our scenic backroads. He argues instead that it is right out in the open on the interstates, and he travels the big highways of the South west to prove the point. Bryan engages motel operators, state troopers, and tr aveling salesmen. He discovers the world's only No Smoking ranch; hobnobs with e lusive novelist Cormac McCarthy; spars with Bob Sundown, who prefers his covered wagon to any car. Between encounters he contemplates everything from America's pioneering spirit to its history of road building.

And that ultimately, as this deeply romantic trav elogue shows, there is no such thing as an ordinary American. A wonderful write r, he manages to transmit his enjoyment of the places and people he encounters. --Austin American-Statesman Editorial Reviews From the Inside Flap Engagingly curious open-mindedness . . . an amiable deadpan worthy of Richard Ford. --Pico Iyer, Time in this offbeat and original road book, cultural observer Mike Bryan takes issue with the traditional idea that the real America is to be found some where on our scenic backroads.
