Overview
This debut work of personal narrative from cult favorite Poe Ballantine is a Greyhound odyssey through America's margins where odd jobs, cheap beer, and unforgettable misfits reveal what it really means to be human
Poe Ballantine's risky, personal essays are populated with odd jobs, eccentric characters, boarding houses, buses, and beer. He takes us along on his journey by bus through small town America (including a detour to Mexico) exploring what it means to be a person in and of the world. Written with piercing intimacy and self-effacing humor, Ballantine's stories provide entertainment, social commentary, and completely compelling slices of life.
