The Bushwick Book Club Seattle Presents Blue Highways

  • Town Hall Seattle 1119 8th Avenue Seattle, WA, 98101 United States (map)

The Bushwick Book Club Seattle presents original music inspired by William Least Heat-Moon’s Blue Highways.

Decades before #vanlife would trend, William Least Heat-Moon responded to upheaval in his life by hitting the road in a 1975 Ford Econoline and chronicling the journey. (“A man who couldn’t make things go right could at least go.”) Without a destination, Least Heat-Moon traveled the country on America’s “blue highways”—rural, two-lane roads so-called because of their color in the road atlas. Part memoir and part travelogue, Blue Highways is an exploration of self and community, an enduring reminder that a country isn’t just a place—it’s people.
