Title: The National Road: Dispatches from a Changing America
Author: Tom Zoellner
Narrator: Rick Adamson
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 9 hours 44 minutes
Release date: November 30, 2021
Genres: World
Publisher's Summary:
This collection of 'eloquent essays that examine the relationship between the American landscape and the national character' serves to remind us that despite our differences we all belong to the same land (Publishers Weekly). What does it mean when a nation accustomed to moving begins to settle down, when political discord threatens unity, and when technology disrupts traditional ways of building communities? Is a shared soil enough to reinvigorate a national spirit? From the embaattled newsrooms of small town newspapers to the pornography film sets of the Los Angeles basin, from the check–out lanes of Dollar General to the holy sites of Mormonism, from the nation's highest peaks to the razed remains of a cherished home, like a latter–day Woody Guthrie, Tom Zoellner takes to the highways and byways of a vast land in search of the soul of its people. By turns nostalgic and probing, incisive and enraged, Zoellner's reflections reveal a nation divided by faith, politics, and shifting economies, but—more importantly—one united by a shared sense of ownership in the common land.
