William Joad is dying. In his quest to connect with his only living heir, he embarks on an epic – and familiar – cross-country journey: traveling from California back to his family farm in Oklahoma. Octavio Solis’ Mother Road is a mythic, no-holds-barred sequel to Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, where destiny and legacy collide in a modern era decades removed from the dustbowl of the 1930s. A contemporary fable about inclusion, exclusion, and the difficult necessity of healing, Solis has crafted a poetic reckoning with a true American classic.
