Descriere magazin:
Michael George\'s Horses, Lemons, and Pretty Girls belongs to the road novel genre. To be more precise, it is an exemplar of the proletarian road novel. Like Kerouac\'s iconic On the Road, it is the story of young men traveling across the United States in search of adventure and epiphany.

The ground was covered with lush green grass, studded with spring\'s wildflowers. Scattered among the trees, not yet ripe berries grew in thick dark patches. A cold spring bubbled out of a hillside, coming alive as a stream, only to meet a sudden death in the vast open sea." Though working class, the protagonist i
