Following a 1930s travel guide Brendan purchased at a yard sale, the two-week trek from LA to New Hampshire covers 16 states, hitting the iconic stops along the way, Yosemite, the Great Salt Lake, Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, replete with wild exploits both hilarious and perilous, but its 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. Thats 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 fathers struggle to find the perfect, worst time to reveal to his son the news that will break his heart and affect everything to follow.Ernest Thompsons debut novel is a skillful, magical piece of 20th-century fin de sicle writing depicting 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. The Book of Maps, with its powerful father-son relationship and one mans relentless albeit unintentional quest to evolve into the better angel we all aspire to be, will capture the imagination of readers and leave them wanting to relive this mad, irresistibly moving, ridiculously funny, reflective and inspiring cross-country odyssey again and again....1491596The Book of Maps189230https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-book-of-maps/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/785817/7eaa32e6-8e4d-40f3-9d54-485efa2228d0.jpg?v=638336209197330000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20229781954021969_W3siaWQiOiI4N2IzMzcyNS01M2M0LTRiZjYtYjk4ZC1iOTc3YmRlYTkyZjQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIzMCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQxLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE4OSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDUtMjFUMTc6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781954021969_In the summer of 2002, Brendan Tibbet, a filmmaker whose luck has run low, takes his ten-year-old son Brenlyn on a raucous road trip across America.
