About a quarter century ago, a previously unknown writer named William Least Heat-Moon wrote a book called Blue Highways. Acclaimed as a classic, it was a travel book like no other. Quirky, discursive, endlessly curious, Heat-Moon had embarked on an American journey off the beaten path. Sticking to the small places via the small roads -- those colored blue on maps -- he uncovered a nation deep in character, story, and charm. Now, for the first time since Blue Highways, Heat-Moon is back on the backroads. Roads to Quoz is his lyrical, funny, and touching account of a series of American journeys into small-town America.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Few readers will be able to resist tagging along.”  —Publishers Weekly
“Natural, national, and personal history converge in this resplendent ‘mosey,’ an inspiriting antidote to hurry and a profound tribute to this good land and its people.”  —Booklist
“Narrator Sherman Howard perfectly delivers the author’s saunter through the states. Howard’ s untroubled, unhurried exposition allows the listener to bask in the splendid (sometimes overdone) descriptions of ‘all things Quoz—things strange, incongruous, or peculiar.’ Howard delights in telling us about the mysterious Quapaw Ghost Light of Oklahoma or southern river towns that time forgot. It’ s like sitting on Grandpa’ s knee.”  —AudioFile
“A pleasure for his fans, who are deservingly many.”  —Kirkus Reviews
