Teenreads.com -- TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY by John Steinbeck (236 words)
Charley was an invaluable sidekick: an attentive listener when Steinbeck wanted to talk, and quite good at starting conversations with strangers.
He traveled from Maine to California, and along the way, fell in love with Montana and was appalled by the racism he discovered in New Orleans.
TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY is a fascinating portrayal of both America in 1960 and its author who learned that he traveled "not so much to see but to tell afterward."
Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck: A superb illustrated edition from Folio (550 words)
It was an eccentric and romantic idea, but Steinbeck wanted to be re-acquainted with the nation he had portrayed so vividly in his great novels of the 1930s, and when 'the urge to be someplace else' was on him, Steinbeck knew better than to resist.
Charley was there through it all and he turned out to be the ideal travel buddy.
Travels with Charley is at once an affectionate account of life on the road and a great writer's last look at an America entering a turbulent time in its history.
