Nobody Walks in America: A Trek Across The USA, (Paperback)

This is a remarkable journey across America. There is often something addictive about reading each new section. The reader becomes a companion and is taken on the road for every step. The voice is perceptive yet conversational and superb. The book contains fine, even startling phrase making. The vast cast of characters - beyond Dickensian - is a triumph. It should go without saying that the sense of place here is terrific. In particular, the description of the desert is fantastic. This book elevates the reader to great heights.
