In 2009, Ben Walker hitchhiked 10,000 miles across America, from Staunton to Seattle, chasing rides and road trip stories. Conversations with America captures it-raw, funny tales from strangers who picked up a 19-year-old dreamer. Truckers spilling regrets, diner saints sharing hopes, desert drifters with wild lies-each chapter's a moment, no strings, just humanity laid bare. Written as a student in Brighton, England, with lessons Walker still lives by, it's a road trip through chance encounters. Self-published with his B&W photos, this paperback's a gritty, honest ride-eBook coming soon. For fans of On the Road, The Motorcycle Diaries, and Slacker.
