.com Review
The original road novel--even though it takes the form ofautobiography. If Guthrie didn't actually invent the footloose, no-strings-attached American hero (remember this guy Twain who wrotesomething about lighting out for the territory?), he certainlysolidified the 20th-century version. Guitar slung over the shoulder ashe sprinted to boost himself aboard freight trains, a man of thepeople equally at home with urban intellectuals, Guthrie incarnatedfor generations of Americans the artist as free spirit. This is thebook that created the legend.--This text refers to the Paperback edition.
