[As a US naturalized citizen, ‘Travels with Charley’ is one of my favourite travel/Americana books (just behind Least Heat Moon’s ‘Blue Highways’), storytelling supreme, especially with Steinbeck’s personal situation at the time; this building on that exploration and observation - including ‘Log from the Sea of Cortez’ - is truly a joy to see]
