The American Dream?: A Journey On Route 66 Discovering Dinosaur Statues, Muffler Men, And The Perfect Breakfast Burrito

"I’ll be the first to admit that, while I love the idea of road trips, I don’t love being in a car too long, so Shing Yin Khor’s The American Dream? allowed me to live vicariously. Khor writes a chronological timeline of their weeks-long road trip along the iconic route, poking through old ghost towns with their fellow travelers (and their adorable dog, Bug) and reflecting on their ideas of what the American Dream really is. Khor’s art is cartoonish and colorful, which feels appropriate for capturing the kitschy and the weird they come across along the way. This book offers a different perspective on the American dream, and it’d be perfect for the Americana aficionado in your life."
