Editorial Review:

Product Description:
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.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not his best...
15 years ago, I found Prairy Erth on the bookstore shelf and have since read everything Heat-Moon has written. Roads to Quoz is an entertaining book, but lacks the intricacy of Prairy Erth and the melancholy wanderlust of Blue Highways. Heat-Moon sets off from home on various roundtrips with his wife, whom he refers to as "Q". Age and success have softened the author as readers of Blue Highways will undoubtedly attest. Gone is the 13,000 mile solo trip, bedding down in the back of a van. And, ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Finally finished Quoz
Heat-Moon is as talented as ever interviewing ordinary people who turn out to be extraordinary under his friendly scalpel. But his obsession with his word "Quoz" is neverending and tiresome. Great book if every reference to "Quoz" were removed.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Roads to Quoz
Moon does it again--- something that appeals to the "down to earth" Americans. Least H. has a collection of stories about real people whose work and toil make this country a success.
Having lived in and traveled much of the area I can vouch for his accurate descriptions of real perople.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An engaging tour of quaint and quirky people and places
"Samuel Johnson said it in five words: `Solitude is dangerous to reason,'" writes the author. "I can think of no greater reason for taking to the American road."

In 1982, William Least Heat-Moon published Blue Highways, a remarkable book whose title refers to highways colored blue on maps. Now, in Roads to Quoz, he ventures again off the beaten path to encounter quirky but charming out-of-the-way places and people.

With an easy banter, Heat-Moon engages those whom he meets ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Quoz
I wasn't sure there was a word for what happens to me when I read Heat-Moon's works. I find treaures in them that seem to be written just for me to find. How can that be?

"PrairyErth" was such a treasure-box; I have read it every year since it was written, each time finding something new. "Roads to Quoz" is also such a book. Its wisdom, depth and humor take you on journeys that are pure joy for the intellect and the imagination.

Heat-Moon's "roads to Quoz" cover a vast area, ... Read More
