Things I Like about America: Personal Narratives

Poe Ballantine's risky, personal essays are populated with odd jobs, eccentric characters, boarding houses, buses, and beer. He takes us along on his Greyhound journey through small town America (including a detour to Mexico) exploring what it means to be human. Written with piercing intimacy and self-effacing humor, Ballantine'stories provide entertainment, social commentary, and completely compelling slices of life.
