Travels With Charley: In Search of America: John Steinbeck
How does the current state of America compare to that of the 1960's? Has progress been made? Are cities doomed to fail? What great adventure is on your bucket list? Christine and Kyle attempt to answer these questions and more as they dive into John Steinbeck's book Travels with Charley: In Search of America. ROAD TRIP!
In 1960 John Steinbeck embraced van life hitting the open road in a camper-truck accompanied by his poodle Charley. Travels with Charley is a travelogue of that journey with Steinbeck musing on the country he built a career writing about. It was an election year; political and racial unrest was sweeping the nation and Steinbeck made remarkably prescient observations about America that took shape in recent history. The book was published in 1962, the same year Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for literature and made it to the top of the New York Times Best Seller list.
