Sayarer, Julian2016
Books
Recruited to work on a big documentary project, Emre goes to New York convinced he has hit big time at last. Finding the project cancelled he wanders the city streets and hitchhiking to San Francisco slowly starts to seem like the most sensible option for his career as a travel writer. The story finds an unseen America in rough shape; Emre meets a place of Interstates, forgotten towns and food deserts, always grappling with the scale and energy of the US. Emre tells a tale of Steinbeck, Kerouac and the vast, thundering indifference of American geography and culture at the start of a new century.
