Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. "Mike Farrell's OF MULE AND MAN is a
one-of-a-kind American road trip. It's a quite enjoyable ride with
an observant and generous friend who is at home crisscrossing the
country with a rental hybrid he calls Mule. Farrell travels through
both the beautiful and busted landscape from desert to bayou, urban
to rural, listening in and arguing silently with conservative talk
radio found in even the most remote places, and ending each day at
bookstores and community organizations to have conversations with
activists, friends, and family who are doing the hard work of
social justice in every neighborhood. 'Heroes abound in this
world,' Farrell writes. He is one of them"--Walter Mosley.
