Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Jon on May 27, 2017

After having read Blue Highways and River-Horse, I am always interested in what William Least Heat-Moon has to say. He is notable for traveling around the country with a very curious and inquiring mind, and reacting to small encounters and adventures which turn up. I can be bored easily, but Least H......more

Goodreads review by Beth on May 02, 2010

Years ago, the book "Blue Highways" influenced me as I had the opportunity to travel around the US, but this Roads to Quoz did not recapture the spirit of that book (in my opinion). In this book, William Least Heat Moon is traveling with his wife (I think they're married) and I'm happy for him that h......more
