Travels with Charley in Search of America
by John Steinbeck
Travels with Charley accounts John Steinbeck’s traverse through America with his trusty old dog by his side. Steinbeck accounts of the country in the 1950s is starkly different from the world today. His description of the beautiful Red Woods of Oregon, the mountain ranges of Montana, and the longing for the coastal air is a joy to flip through. He brings up issues of race, political silence of strangers, and how going home doesn’t always feel like home. Is it the hometown that’s changed or is it us that’s changed? His objectivity is apparent and he’s well aware of it. Regardless, it is a pleasure to read about a mans experience on the open road of the states.
