America Unchained | Dave Gorman

1 post | 1 read

The plan was simple. Go to America. Buy a second-hand car. Drive coast-to-coast without giving any money to The ManTM. What could possibly go wrong? Dismayed by the relentless onslaught of faceless American chains muscling in where local businesses had once thrived, Dave Gorman set off on the ultimate American road trip - in search of the true, independent heart of the U S of A. He would eat cherry pie from local diners, re-fuel at dusty gas stations and stock up on supplies from Mom and Pop's grocery store. At least that was the idea. But when did you last see an independent gas station? Gamely, Dave beds down in a Colorado trailer park, sleeps in an Oregon forest treehouse, and even spends Thanksgiving with a Mexican family in Kansas. But when his road trip mutates into an odyssey of near-epic proportions and he finds himself being threatened at gun point in Mississippi, Dave starts to worry about what's going to break down next. The car... or him?

America Unchained | Dave Gorman

pan

Englishman Dave Gorman travels to America and attempts to drive coast to coast without financially supporting any type of chain, be it food, lodging or gas. This should have been more interesting than it was. In fact, it could have been interesting if it were an article rather than a book--a book that felt like it would never end.

TheEllieMo I feel that Gorman‘s experiences work better as comedy routines that they do as books 2w

keithmalek @TheEllieMo The only other book of his that I read (and I loved it) was the one that he co-wrote with Danny wallace called Are You Dave Gorman? Have you read it? 1w

TheEllieMo @keithmalek I haven‘t read the book, but did see the TV series, which was very funny 1w
