Steinbeckas vieną dieną susikrovė daiktus, pasiėmė turbūt vienintelį šunį pasaulyję galintį ištartį F raidę, ir išvažiavo į kelionę aplink Ameriką. Veiksmo daug nėra, didžiąją dalį knygos sudaro autoriaus mintys apie matomus vaizdus ir įvykius, kartais gal net kiek per daug nuklystant nuo pagrindinės minties, bet skaityti nė karto nebuvo nuobodu. Įdomu ir tai, jog net praėjus tiek metų nuo aprašomo laikotarpio, labai daug dalykų vis dar daugiau ar mažiau aktualūs, tiek politiniai, tiek kultūriniai.

I can see why this would be a classic; it’s also very interesting to see what trends he noticed in the 60s that certainly came to fruition in modern times. It doesn’t feel like he really visited ALL of America and it feels like his perspective was limited, but it makes sense for it to be that way because of his own identity and experiences, and that makes it feel very honest. Definitely cannot fully relate to the complaints about everything being too sanitary, but I can see what he was getting at.
