About a quarter of a 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 coloured blue on maps – he uncovered a nation deep in character, story, and charm.
Acclaimed by critics as a modern classic, ROADS TO QUOZ is Heat-Moon’s long-awaited return to the back roads. It is a lyrical, funny, and touching account of a series of American journeys into small-town America.

Reviews
- Dallas Morning News 'A Great American Gothic....Despite his vision of a society that has depleted far too much (forests, aquifers, coastlines) through its excesses, Heat-Moon's sense of humor remains intact
- Wall Street Journal 'This is a call to get out a map and explore rural America the beautiful. If urban life makes you feel like you're losing your mind and your way, set out to your own blue highway to quoz
Altogether wonderful . . . Heat-Moon loves the funky byways of America. . . . His destinations matter less than the infectious curiosity he brings to every journey
