"Kouwenhoven is... an acute and extraordinarily genial analyst of our mechanized folkware."

(Charles Poore New York Times)

Reseña del editor:

First published in 1961, The Beer Can by the Highway takes a provocative, wide-ranging look at America's ever-changing physical and intellectual landscapes, from advertising and jazz to Manhattan's skyline and the prairies of the Midwest. The Johns Hopkins edition features a foreword by Ralph Ellison, who praises the work as "one that springs from deep within that rich segment of the American grain which gave us the likes of Emerson and Whitman, Horatio Greenough and Constance Rourke―yes, and Mark Twain."
