Sobre IBD

An American Odyssey - If Least Heat Moon had met Bukowski it would be this book. It is an exploration, in prose and poetry of the restless American soul, a raw, rhythmic account of a life spent on the highways of the North American continent, a book about leaving and arriving, and the realization that there aren’t enough tears in the world to settle the dust on all of our roads.
