A Route 66 Companion
Even before there was a road, there was a route. Buffalo trails, Indian paths, the old Santa Fe trace—all led across the Great Plains and the western mountains to the golden oasis of California. America’s insatiable westering urge culminated in Route 66, the highway that ran from Chicago to Los Angeles. Opened in 1926, Route 66 became the quintessential American road. It offered the chance for freedom and a better life, whether you were down-and-out Okies fleeing the Dust Bowl in the 1930s or cool guys cruising in a Corvette in the 1960s. Even though the interstates long ago turned Route 66 into a bylane, it still draws travelers from around the world who long to experience the freedom of the open road. A Route 66 Companion gathers fiction, poetry, memoir, and oral history to present a literary historical portrait of America’s most storied highway. From accounts of pioneering trips across the western plains to a sci-fi fantasy of traveling Route 66 in a rocket, here are stories that explore the mystique of the open road, told by master storytellers ranging from Washington Irving to Raymond Chandler, Joan Didion, Sylvia Plath, Leslie Marmon Silko, and John Steinbeck. Interspersed among them are reminiscences that, for the first time, honor the varied cultures—Native American, Mexican American, and African American, as well as Anglo—whose experiences run through the Route 66 story like the stripe down the highway. So put the top down, set the cruise control, and “make that California trip\" with A Route 66 Companion.

WILD BOY OF THE ROAD
Route 66 was a road of flight but it was also a road of family, which makes the next excerpt all the more poignant. This poem is the story of a boy, thin as a pole and forced to set out on his own, without his family, traveling west to God knows where.
Much has been written of the ancient vehicles that carried migrants from Oklahoma. It’s instructive to remember that those who couldn’t afford a jalopy still managed to find their way out of the Dust Bowl—by walking Route 66. In this and other accounts of the Okies’

A Healthy, Flourishing Weed
Hesse shares her experience winning the Newbery. In her Newbery year she was invited to speak all over the country. She accepted every invitation. She met wonderful people, extraordinary people. At the end of the year, she was very, very tired, but it was a good tired. And the doors that opened during that year never fully closed again. She is now on the threshold of her seventieth year. After twenty-four beautifully published books, the fierce need to write that once woke her in the middle of the night is quieter now. Winning the Newbery for Out of the Dust has made her feel visible and whole.
