Un tempo, sulle vecchie cartine d'America, le strade principali erano segnate in rosso e quelle secondarie in blu. È sulle strade blu che si svolge il viaggio di tre mesi di un solitario mezzo pellerossa, che, rimasto privo del suo lavoro e della sua donna, va a ricercare un poco di interesse alla vita in un itinerario circolare che lo porta e riporta da Columbia, Missouri, a Columbia, Missouri, attraverso le Caroline, il Texas meridionale, lo stato di Washington, il Montana e il New England. E ritrova, ricostruisce, riscopre l'America periferica, decentrata, provinciale come un altro, diverso continente.

Review of 'Blue Highways' on 'Goodreads'

No matter where you go, there you are. But the people are different.
He visits places in the USA that I've never heard of, tells a brief version of their story.
Just towards the end I started realizing some of the themes he'd been working on the whole time.
Now will have to re-read just to finish uncovering them.
