In America: Travels with John Steinbeck

In 1960 John Steinbeck and his dog Charley set out in their green pickup truck, travelling from New York to New Orleans to see how the country looks and smells and sounds. Half a century on, Dutch journalist and historian Geert Mak and his wife travel from Steinbecks home, retracing his journey through glistening suburbs, Midwestern prairies and rust-belt towns to see how Main Street, USA has changed, and what has become of the American Dream.
