John Steinbeck sets off on a journey across America with his "gentleman poodle", Charley. The result is a telling journey in space and time. But I do not find Steinbeck's joys and disappointments too different from today's - we continue to struggle with sprawl and the disappearance of our regional cultures. Steinbeck finds much to celebrate in America and its people, and this is also true today. This book is a very thoughtful and pleasant read.
