このコンテンツについて

In the summer of 2002, filmmaker Brendan Tibbet takes his ten-year-old son Brenlyn on a raucous road trip across America. Following a 1930s travel guide Brendan purchased at a yard sale, the two-week trek covers 16 states, hitting the iconic stops along the way, Yosemite, the Great Salt Lake, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, replete with wild exploits both hilarious and perilous, but it's the interior journey that is enlightening, deeply poignant, and life-changing.

Brendan assures the boy that each state will be an adventure, and on the second day proves it, seeing the kid washed away in fast-moving rapids, then foolishly putting them both in danger by refusing to back down to the massive black bear invading their campsite. That's Brendan, impetuous and foolhardy, inciting trouble wherever he goes, a man with demons and bubbling angst. But neither of those missteps, or the many and scarier ones to follow, can begin to compare to the threatening storm cloud hanging over the expedition: the father's struggle to find the perfect, worst time to reveal to his son the news that will break his heart and affect everything.

Ernest Thompson's debut novel depicts a United States that, even in the aftermath of 9/11, seems almost innocent contrasted to the horrors and divisions, racism and rage challenging us now.
