Hunter Thompson meets Bill Bryson in this hilarious narrative of travels throughout the Southwest. From San Francisco to Joshua Tree, Moab to Telluride, Sundeen flips eggs, pops pills, falls in love, leads rafting trips, and gets arrested for a breadstick theft. Line drawings throughout.
A riotous, beautiful, totally original road novel masquerading as a travel book. Sundeen's America, comprised of equal parts Gorgeous and Awful, absolutely shimmers with life. The prose is pure, wild, naïve, and poetic; the characters leap off the page in the dunderheadedness and sincerity. A brilliant an auspicious debut.
-George Saunders

A stunningly wonderful writer. Sundeen's prose is sparse but the images he creates are alive and infinite. This is a book to be savored and remembered.
-Hubert Selby Jr.
