In David Lipsky's view, David Foster Wallace was the best young writer in America. Wallace's pieces for Harper's magazine in the '90s were, according to Lipsky, like hearing for the first time the brain voice of everybody I knew: Here was how we all talked, experienced, thought. It was like smelling the damp in the air, seeing the first flash from a storm a mile away. You knew something gigantic was coming.

Road Trip is a collection of autobiographical essays that honor the places, people, and other living creatures that have given shape and meaning to one man's life. Framed by essays about the life and death of loved ones, the book explores the importance of family, friendship, and what it means to care for another human being. Above all, Road Trip is about transformations that happen in ways we may not always understand or welcome - it's about travelling down unknown and unexpected roads with good humor, generosity, and a spirit of adventure.
