A blend of travel and memoir, discovery and self-discovery ... Fascinating and absorbing. It takes many forms: study, travelogue, guidebook, and warts-and-all self-portrait. McCarthy’s fieldwork is laudable ... The book is particularly compelling when McCarthy charts his own progress.
McCarthy’s curiosity fuels organic conversation with other men, leading to discoveries about both himself and male friendship, making this revealing memoir that spans the highways and back roads of the U.S. inspiring, impactful, and revealing.
