The author and his french standard poodle, Charley, board a custom built camper truck named Rocinante and head across the U.S.A. My kind of road trip. Steinbeck, suffering from bad health, doubts, disillusionments, and a healthy case of ennui, sets off across America to rediscover the country he'd been writing about for 40 years. Look for the section when Charley, maybe the most urbane dog in literature, takes on a bear in Yellowstone. Hilarious.
