Travels with Morgan: in Search of America's Future

By Roger Gloss

Novelist Roger Gloss ventures into nonfiction in his latest book, a heartwarming account of his month-long road trip across the United States in 2014. Inspired by John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley, Travels with Morgan is a story of friendships old and new, roots, geography, and better times from the past that, lately, seem to elude us. It is also a dog story, with delightful vignettes of the author's dog Morgan, a fifteen-pound mutt with a strong dose of Bichon Frise in his DNA. Together, Gloss and his dog attempt, in their travels, to glimpse America's future. As in all his writing, Gloss never shies away from confronting important, troubling issues facing modern American society. The resulting combination is a coherent, articulate story that will have readers laughing one minute and lapsing into deep thought the next. The scope of this enjoyable account is greater than a mere travelogue or dog story; it is those things and much more.
