Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In 1960 John Steinbeck and his dog Charley set out in their green pickup truck to rediscover the soul of America, visiting small towns and cities from New York to New Orleans. As Steinbeck said to a friend: I must see how the country looks and smells and sounds. The trip became Travels With Charley, one of his best-loved books. Half a century on, Geert Mak sets off from Steinbecks home with his wife and his sat-nav Sandy. Mile after mile, as he retraces Steinbecks footsteps through the potato fields of Maine to the endless prairies of the Midwest, sits down to eat with farmers, workers, fishermen and teachers, stumbles across glistening suburbs and boarded-up stores, he searches for the roots of America and what remains of the world Steinbeck describes. Part biography, part cultural history, In America asks how America has changed in the last fifty years; whats happened to Main Street, USA, and the American dream; and what do we, Europe and America, have in common in the twenty-first century? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR006187962
