“ Engaging. Foglio has a good command of detail and writes about a subject he knows well.” - George B. Kirsch, Columbia University, Manhattan College, author Baseball in Blue and Gray: The National Pastime During the Civil War.
“Foglio pushes on bravely - and with some degree of success - along roads once coursed by the likes of Steinbeck, Kerouac, and H.S. Thompson, w/ occasional side trips into the bosky realms of Walt Whitman and Euell Gibbons. An interesting, eclectic and readable coterie of traveling companions to say the least, and a daunting task for a first effort. Partly in-the-pocket and classic; part gonzo and beat, but uniquely original.
Imagine Sly Stallone or Sugar Ray (Robinson or Leonard, you choose) in robes on loan from the Dali Lama and you get an idea of the persona of this writer. With a keen eye on landscapes, an unerring ear for patois, and a penetrating gaze into the souls he encounters on his pilgrimage with his pup, he’ll take you along a road replete with dandelion wine, diners, deserts, and Dylanesque characters, while searching for the angel woman of his dreams, an unspoiled sanctuary, and a roll of soft paper for the toilet.”
