A unique vantage point on contemporary American life, Interstate is a state of the nation report from the parts of the country that few visitors see as Julian Sayarer hitchhikes from New York to San Francisco
Winner of the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year 2016.
Stanfords London Book of the Month March 2017
Recruited to work on a big documentary project, Julian goes to New York convinced he has hit big time at last. Finding the project cancelled he wanders the city streets and hitchhiking to San Francisco slowly starts to seem like the most sensible option for his career as a travel writer.
The story finds an unseen America in rough shape; Julian meets a place of Interstates, forgotten towns and food deserts, always grappling with the scale and energy of the US.
Julian tells a tale of Steinbeck, Kerouac and the vast, thundering indifference of American geography and culture at the start of a new century.
