Postcards from the Road

There will always be interest in travel stories, since Americans love to be on the move and love to hear about other places and the people who inhabit them. The eleven stories in this collection all stand admirably on their own, tied together with a travel theme and introduced by a celebratory essay on the tradition of travel in American literature. Add the psychological insights from a writer who can skillfully put words on paper and you have a worthwhile read.
