Travels With Charley
by John Steinbeck
Review this book!
John Steinbeck chronicles his attempts, as he travels from Long Island to California and back, to define what it is to be American. In the end, he concedes failure: it is impossible to generalize about his complicated homeland. However, his experiences add up to a delightful account of an eager and curious human being on the road--and of Charley the aging French poodle, an excellent and civilized companion and a memorable character in his own right.

Publisher Notes
Steinbeck records his emotions and experiences during a journey of rediscovery in his native land.
Media Reviews
"Pure delight, a pungent potpourri of places and people interspersed with bittersweet essays on everything from the emotional difficulties of growing old to the reasons why giant sequoias arouse such awe."
First Line
When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch.
