6/27/2023 0 Comments American Nomads by Richard Grant“Forget the white picket fence, the house in the suburbs, the monthly mortgage payment and all that crap,” says a truck driver Grant rode with on one of his adventures. Fascinated by the land of endless horizons, sunshine, and the open road, Richard Grant spent fifteen years wandering throughout the United States, never spending more than three weeks in one place, and getting to know America’s nomads-truckers, tramps, rodeo cowboys, tie-dyed T-shirt concert followers, flea market traders, retirees who live year-round in their RVs, and the murderous Freight Train Riders of America (FTRA).Īs an outsider aching for the “balm of motion,” Grant uses these lives and his own to examine the myths and realities of the wandering life, and its contradiction with the sedentary American dream.
