Travels with Charley in Search of
America: (Centennial Edition) by
John Steinbeck
Steinbeck Relays Simple Truths With Warm Tone
With his dog Charley, John Steinbeck set out in his truck to explore and
experience America in the 1960s. As he talked with all kinds of people, he
sadly noted the passing of region speech, fell in love with Montana, and
was appalled by racism in New Orleans.

Steinbeck is able to portray such simple, candid moments during his
travels - most of which are spent within his own head - in a warm and
memorable tone throughout Travels with Charley. What is remarkable
about this particular piece is that it is rather unremarkable; Steinbeck never
intended to write a masterpiece, and that simplicity in style is appreciated.
Steinbeck is able to take sometimes sentimental, sometimes angering
mental snapshots from his travels to create a small nugget of truth that
accurately reflects his America. His perceptions are relevant to almost any
American, any traveler with an open mind as he is able to piece together a
simple scene of America, stuck in time, and somehow pull an eternal
message from each experience.
