Description

A candid, humorous and perceptive eye on America, with a new introduction covering the Presidential election

Forty-six days, thirteen states, 3000 miles.

Documenting the author's solo coast-to-coast road-trip across America, David Reynolds's Slow Road to San Francisco is an absolute joy. An entertaining blend of observation and commentary delivered with a luminous lightness of touch.

From Ocean City, Maryland to San Francisco, Reynolds traverses the back roads and small towns of the USA, taking the pulse of Trump's America as he goes. With remarkable candor and insight, not to mention a humorous and sometimes skeptical eye, he observes the States today. As he moseys from east to west, driving slowly, stopping frequently he meets Trump's countrymen and women - white, black, Hispanic, Asian, native American; Christian, Muslim, atheist, Mormon, Mennonite; rich, middling, poor. They talk about everything from slavery and Indian reservations to Butch Cassidy, and Marilyn Monroe. Everyone has something to say about Donald Trump, whether they love him or hate him.
