Description
With Charley, his French poodle, Steinbeck drives the interstates and the country roads, dines with truckers, encounters bears at Yellowstone and old friends in San Francisco. He reflects on the American character, on racial hostility, on a particular form of American loneliness he finds almost everywhere, and on the unexpected kindness of strangers.
