Query: Things I Like About America

Whether one believes this work of Poe Ballentine's is fact or fiction, what he says is deeply rooted in truth. He tells the stories of the "little people" and gives the peons and the nameless faceless grunts of this country a voice. He paints a gallery of portraits that reflects the real day to day struggle of a vast majority of people in this country, who live minute by minute because that is as much of a future as they dare to expect. Sort of like a modern day Woody Gutherie, rather than ride the rails, he rode Greyhound and brought back the kinds of stories Woody would have sung. When I finished the last page of the book, I imagined that this must have been the way his friends made along the way must have felt when they saw him board that bus and leave them behind. They were hopeful he would find something better, sad that it all had to end.
