![]() I saw in their eyes something I was to see over and over in every part of the nation-a burning desire to go, to move, to get under way, anyplace, away from any Here. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip a trip takes us (page 4) Regardless, I enjoyed Steinbeck’s work and I thought I would share with you some of my favourite lines: He elaborates on his issues with Steinbeck’s work in his blog. ![]() Interestingly enough, in 2014 Bill Steigerwald dedicated a lot of time to “exposing” Steinbeck as a fraud for this book and labelled this travelogue as a “fictionalized non-fiction” in his book Dogging Steinbeck. ![]() I recommend it to anyone who enjoys travel literature, travelogues, journals/diaries, and those who love Steinbeck and his work because in the end it just feels like you’re hanging out with him and his dog. It seems a lot more relaxed than reading Krakauer’s Into The Wild for instance, or Cheryl Strayed’s Wild. Although it’s not as high of a thrill as later written travelogues which are now quite popular, this book is interesting BECAUSE it’s Steinbeck. ![]() I kept thinking that if anyone other than Steinbeck wrote the same travelogue it wouldn’t be that interesting. ![]()
