A Sense of Place: Listening to Americans

by David Lamb

In a remarkable travelogue, the author of Stolen Season turns his keen eye, honed by years as a foreign correspondent, onto his own country and its people. Cowboys, poets, hobos, farmers, ranchers—those who comprise the American outback—are the focal point of this colorful and memorable look at the ordinary Americans who live lives vastly different from their urban counterparts.
