Arelentlessly curious, endlessly sensitive, and unequivocally
adventurous examiner of human existence, William T. Vollmann now
takes to the rails. In the company of experienced fellow
train-hopper Steve, Vollmann trawls the secretive waters of a
unique underground lifestyle--subjecting both our national romance
with and skepticism about the hobo life to his finely tuned,
analytical eye. Carrying on in the footloose tradition of
Huckleberry Finn, he offers a moving, strikingly modern vision of
the American dream, brilliantly exploring both our deeply ingrained
romanticizing of "freedom" and the myriad ways we restrict the very
freedoms we profess to admire.
