 | Travels with Charley by Gary Sinise, Jay Parini, John Steinbeck, Ron McLarty
Steinbeck writes colorfully of his own travels through America with his French poodle. Subtitled IN SEARCH OF AMERICA, the book attempts to define what it is to be American. Steinbeck, however, concedes failure: I began to feel that Americans exist, that they really do have generalized characteristics regardless of their states, their social and financial status, their religious and their political convictions. But the more I inspected this American image, the less sure I became of what it is. AUTHOR: Gary Sinise, Jay Parini, John Steinbeck, Ron McLarty
