Two Authors, Two Road Trips, Two Americas

Authors Bill Steigerwald and Ethan Casey will be presenting Two Authors, Two Road Trips, Two Americas. Both
authors have written first-person accounts of their separate coast-to-coast
travels and their impressions of America and its people. They will be presenting photos and stories from their travels in addition to discussing the topics covered in each of their books.

In his investigative road book Dogging Steinbeck, Bill Steigerwald used John Steinbeck's classic book
Travels with Charley as a map for his own cross-country road trip in
search of America which turned into a case of literary detective work as he
attempted to set the record straight on this beloved but unreliable travelogue.

In the fall of 2012, Ethan Casey drove clockwise
around America during the election season which resulted in Home Free: An American Road Trip, an entertaining and illuminating work of personal reporting in the spirit of his

previous travel narratives Alive and Well
in Pakistan and Bearing the Bruise: A

Life Graced by Haiti.

This free event event will take place in the 3rd Floor Community Meeting Room.
