Thirty years later he set out alone-in a sixteen foot boat-on a three-month two-thousand-mile voyage down the Mississippi, from Minneapolis to New Orleans. Mr. Raban envelops us totally in his journey, giving us a strong, rich sense of history, of people, and of tradition that is resistant to change. He takes us to pig roasts, to church on Sunday, to sleazy bars, to a state fair that will linger in our memory, and he reveals the people he meets along the way in encounters both are both tragic and comic.
