James A. Reeves found the America no one seems to be looking for anymore, and he also found himself." —Roger Ebert "On The Road for a new century." —Michael Lesy, Wisconsin Death Trip "A tantalizing 21st Century cross between James Agee's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and Jack Kerouac's On the Road, this remarkable and utterly original memoir heralds the arrival of a new and important American voice.
