Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This may be the best road trip you'll ever take--full of strange vision, hilarious detours, and sudden beauty in unlikely places." -Burkhard Bilger, staff writer at The New Yorker

"'The ancient boyhood impulse to Get In, ' as Hampton Sides puts it, fuels this rollicking book. An entertaining investigative trek through parts both familiar and strange." -Anthony Swofford, author of Jarhead

"Hampton Sides's America is a flabbergasting place. Funny but never at the expense of his subjects, wise but not wiseass, Sides seeks out decidedly non-average Americans who dig themselves deep into things." -Mary Roach, author of Stiff

"This is a dream adventure you'll likely never get; fortunately, Sides has been there. Wry, exuberant, and always compassionate, Americana is pure pleasure." -Doug Stanton, author of In Harm's Way

"Inside this riveting collection we find a country of hotly competing tribes encamped on the headlands of a still undefinable frontier. These incisive and often humorous stores comprise the vanguard of a new literature about America and its vast complexities." -Michael Paterniti, author of Driving Mr. Albert
