Скачать или смотреть Sarah Kendzior’s ‘Last American Road Trip’ paints beautiful and scarred portrait of changing country

In her new book “The Last American Road Trip,” Sarah Kendzior encountered a startling revelation about vacations: They may seem like an escape from an upsetting and changing world.

But they’re not.

Kendzior, her husband and her two children had spent the past few days exploring some of the country’s most popular and secluded national parks. After stopping at a Nebraska gas station for coffee and Twizzlers, Kendzior pulled out her phone and saw that billionaire Jeffrey Epstein died in prison.

That news pulled the University City-based author and journalist back into work mode, so much so that her kids could see her scrolling through news articles about the notorious child sex offender through the reflection on her glasses.

“I was not yet home, but I had exited the daydream and reentered the nightmare,” Kendzior wrote.

“The Last American Road Trip,” which was released on April 1, spends quite a bit of time showcasing how America’s ravishing national parks and historic roadways cannot get away from political instability, climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and mythbreaking realities of America’s past.
