Freeways

And so begins Lewis Davies's trek across America from his David Lynch-like room in a small motel in Tulsa. Inspired by the popular culture of the west and the novels of Steinbeck and Kerouac, Welsh novelist Davies (Trees of Crows and Work, Sex, and Rugby) decided to take a look for himself. One summer, using Rt. 66 and the trail taken by the Okies during the 1930s as his map, he makes his way west. His winding road narrative captures the faces, voices, and lives of people who live and work in the restaurants, gas stations, stores, and theme parks along this once-vibrant, now tired, almost desolate route.Davies, Lewis is the author of 'Freeways' with ISBN 9781902638225 and ISBN 1902638220.
