Gavin Young' s North American odyssey took him from Central Park
and the old Atlantic whaling ports all the way to a tiny cabin in
the Yukon, where Jack London heard 'the call of the wild'. Whether
sleuthing through riot-racked Los Angeles in the footsteps of
Philip Marlowe, crossing the Arizona Desert on Route 66 like
Steinbeck's Depression-era migrant workers or searching for the
characters of Cannery Row in Monterey, Young brilliantly uses the
past to illuminate the present. 'Gavin Young is perpetually
inquisitive, racially colour-blind, intrepid, reflective and
gregarious ... plainly a man in a million, and a writer in two.'
Bernard Levin 'He catches the mind's eye of the reader very deftly
... and, without losing his sense of irony, gives us a genuine
account of the tragedy and the pathos, as well as the optimism and
bravery, that created American civilization.' Christoper Hitchens,
Mail on Sunday
