manwomanplanvanagon: corey found this gem on the street last week. from the back cover: When Jack Waterman sets out from the Gaspe in an old, rusted-out minibus, with a ragged stack of maps, a bag of cookies, and a long-legged hitchhiker at his side, his search for his missing brother Theo takes an unexpected turn. With only a cryptic, antiquated postcard to guide them, the two explorers embark on a modern voyage of discovery, along the canoe routes of the voyageurs and the highways of Hemingway and Kerouac. it’s full of notes—probably belonged to an english major, not a volkswagen enthusiast. here are the notes from the first page: -volkswagen: modern mobility, everyman’s car, icon of progress, Europe, old world, PAST (duality)-blues: music in american form, regulation of theme, images of loss, meditative, reflective -crammed with books, baggage of 60s-mobility + idea of loss —> travel in search of lost brother so, i guess that’s what this book is about.

corey found this gem on the street last week.

from the back cover:

When Jack Waterman sets out from the Gaspe in an old, rusted-out minibus, with a ragged stack of maps, a bag of cookies, and a long-legged hitchhiker at his side, his search for his missing brother Theo takes an unexpected turn. With only a cryptic, antiquated postcard to guide them, the two explorers embark on a modern voyage of discovery, along the canoe routes of the voyageurs and the highways of Hemingway and Kerouac.

it’s full of notes—probably belonged to an english major, not a volkswagen enthusiast.

here are the notes from the first page:

-volkswagen: modern mobility, everyman’s car, icon of progress, Europe, old world, PAST (duality)
-blues: music in american form, regulation of theme, images of loss, meditative, reflective

-crammed with books, baggage of 60s
-mobility + idea of loss —> travel in search of lost brother

so, i guess that’s what this book is about.
