Search of America
Introduction by Jay Parini
In September 1960, Steinbeck and his
poodle, Charley, embarked on a journey
across America. A picaresque tale, this
chronicle of their trip meanders along
scenic backroads and speeds along
anonymous superhighways, moving from
small towns to growing cities to glorious
wilderness oases.
