Snapshot of America in 1960 with Steinbeck as our guide, exploring the land and interacting with the people, becomes a cry out for sanity from the old patterns of not recognizing the humanity of those that don’t look like “us”. Relevant today. Loved it.

“
Let us not fool ourselves. What we knew is dead, and maybe the greatest part of what we were is dead. What’s out there is new and perhaps good, but it’s nothing we know.
”

— John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America, 1968

New #book from a friend recommendation after talking about #Steinbeck and his #TravelswithCharley and how it felt like a response to #Kerouac and #ontheroad. Maybe not directly inspired, but Steinbeck had lost perspective & roadtripped to find it. #bluehighways is another roadtrip book.
