Dispatches To America: A Route....

Jimmy J. Pack Jr.

DISPATCHES TO AMERICA is an "On the Road" for Generation-X focusing on the remains of Old Route 66.


DISPATCHES TO AMERICA: A ROUTE 66 MEMOIR is a 104,000-word creative nonfiction “novel”/memoir following America’s expansion westward through the interactions and reflections of a Gen X-er raised on Saturday morning cartoons, a single-eared music industry and a fast food nation. As he traces routes of travel once popular in the early 20th Century he's greeted by dead and dying small towns negatively impacted by America’s constant push towards commercialism. The “main character” is forced into constant anxiety as he travels The Main Street of America and learns more about his homeland.
