Travels with Charley in Search of America

Join the legendary writer John Steinbeck on a heartfelt journey across America as he embarks on a rediscovery of the nation he has long chronicled. Accompanied by his French poodle Charley, Steinbeck navigates interstates and backroads, sharing meals with truckers, reflecting on the American character, and encountering both wildlife and familiar faces. Through his observations, he explores themes of racial hostility, pervasive loneliness, and the surprising kindness found among strangers.
