Vollmann is a relentlessly curious, endlessly sensitive, and unequivocally adventurous examiner of human existence. In his work, he offers readers a gorgeously written immersion in the trainhopping, hobo life. 66 b&w photos. 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.
