Query: Heat-Moon in search of self..............

Blue Highways tells an inner story as captivating as the external wanderlust it records. Heat-Moon sets out from Missouri and circles the country meeting commonfolk, providing commentary, and bringing the less traveled road to life. All too often life forces us into warp speed where we fail to notice the ordinary. With Heat-Moon's closer inspection, we see the ordinary as interesting and an experience worth having. The author makes this journey under a personal cloud due to a failing relationship. His admissions are honest, his emotional battles thought provoking, and the philosophy with which he girds this effort well worth rumination. I may not share all of this man's political leanings, but, nevertheless, I respect him immensely as an author. His sincere gratitude to his readers is palpable and his down-to-earth persona refreshing. Read this and Heat-Moon's two other efforts, River Horse and Prairy Erth. You'll be very happy that you did.
