Title: A Great American Road Trip
Review: In this wonderfully entertaining book, Steinbeck takes a road trip across America and back, exploring its geography, culture, religion and society. In the process he explores the very nature of travel, why so many of us are so drawn to it and how that affects our lives. Travels with Charley in Search of America is similar in some respects to Steinbeck's 1948 A Russian Journal, although here the writing is somewhat more about America than A Russian Journal was about Russia. This book is also very different in that here Steinbeck travels with his dog as his only companion, whereas A Russian Journal was about travels with Steinbeck's close friend Robert Capa.This book is a very thought-provoking and entertaining exploration of many aspects of America. I highly recommend it.
