Going Home is the record of a three-week cycling trip undertaken by
a middle-aged man and his son, pedaling 2,500 kilometers from New
Orleans back up the map to their home in Canada. For the father it
was a brief return to the country that was his home for the first
two decades of his life. For his son, it was an introduction to the
country that had shaped his father. This book is about this land
seen more intimately than is possible in a car. It is also about
the people they met along the way: 'Saint' Cecil of Natalbany,
Louisiana; Ma and the homebody farmer at Ma's Hitching Post in
rural Tennessee; Dennis 'The Hustler' in Nashville; Rose and Albert
at The Jam Factory in Louisville; the 'Third Brother' in Bowling
Green; Jimmy of The Crow Bar in Sabina; Billy 'The Biker' on the
Geneva Strip; and many others, all people that somehow within
minutes (or hours) came to personify and capture, like apt images
in a poem, the heart of America.
