Riding Toward Everywhere (Ecco)
William Vollman decided to spend as much time as possible viewing the stars from the flatbed of a moving train. He's a "fauxbo" not a hobo, and he movingly describes his need to find freedom by hopping a train–without any destination in mind.

• Read an excerpt from Riding Toward Everywhere.
  

Guests:

• William T. Vollman: American novelist, journalist, short story writer and essayist

Host
