The October 16 issue of New Yorker magazine reminds Steinbeck fans of their favorite author’s continued usefulness in understanding America and Americans. In a Talk of the Town item titled “Paris Postcard: In Search of America,” Lauren Collins reports that Francois Busnel, the host of a popular French television show about literature, is the new editor-in-chief of America, a French magazine “conceived to help French readers make sense of its namesake in the age of Trump.” Not surprisingly, Busnel looks to American literature to help explain Trump to his fellow countrymen. “We’re living in a profoundly novelistic era,” Busnel says, adding that Travels with Charley remains his favorite book about America and Americans in any age.
Astonishing! It has sold more than 100,000 copies! Considering America as more complex than often
assumed….. the literary instigators amusingly and quizzically costumed in American regalia as they launched
their investigation.
Thank you for direction to the Lauren Collins article.

Hello I run a book blog and was hoping to use this image in my review of Travels with Charley. Can I use it? If so, how can I properly credit it?
