Friends of the Library present Sarah Kendzior
The Friends of University City Public Library will welcome best-selling author Sarah Kendzior to discuss her latest book, The Last American Road Trip. The free program will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 15 in the UCPL auditorium.
The Last American Road Trip is part memoir, part travel adventure, and a prescient and alarming political critique of the decline of America. Written with both anger and deep affection for her beloved country, the book chronicles the trips she, her husband, and their two children took to National Parks and historic sites; along Route 66; and to obscure and weird roadside attractions, like the giant praying hands sculpture in Webb City, Missouri. Beginning in 2016, through the pandemic years, and as the children grew into teenagers, they continued exploring America with a sense of seeing it before it was too late. She has a PhD. in Anthropology from Washington University and lives and works in University City. She will be interviewed by STLPR’s Rod Milam.
This program is intended for adults, but is free and open to all. Refreshments and book signing after the presentation. Book sales courtesy of Subterranean Books.
