Horwitz's writing style is beautiful. He has an unabashedly Jewish, white, urban, young and educated perspective from which he interprets the people and events that he comes across. The result is obviously skewed, but in a way that is lighthearted and surprisingly open. He meets an extraordinary range of people in this trip, and portrays them all with an earnestness and sense of humor that admits his own humanity as well as all of ours.
