Opis

"American Atlas" brings to the traditional road novel an exhilarating breath of fresh airor perhaps one should say a catastrophic gale. The hero is no penniless wanderer who subsidizes his cross-country trek by stealing chickens and hubcaps. He is Lawrence Bancroft, who starts the novel off with a bang by walking out on his father s funeral and his position as the heir to a multimillion-dollar pie company. Bancroft wants to be a poet and he pursues his dream across the length and breadth of America, serving up a dazzling portrait not only of the state of the nation but of a man in search of himself."
