Praise for Sarah Kendzior's
The Last American Road Trip

USA Today bestseller
American Booksellers Association bestseller

"Kendzior is an absolutely terrific writer--a preeminent voice of her generation--and her love for this troubled country flows like a kind of lifeblood through her work. I tore through The Last American Road Trip like it was a great novel--except that the sadness and wisdom it imparted stayed with me far longer than most fiction. Every American, whatever their politics, will recognize a country that they love, that they miss--and that they might be able to reclaim." --Sebastian Junger

"If The Last American Road Trip doesn't spark the urge to see more of America yourself, or if that yearning can't be fulfilled, traveling with such an intelligent, perceptive guide isn't a bad substitute." --BookPage

"From struggling roadside spectacles to shuttered national parks, Sarah Kendzior shows readers where the fault lines lie." --Chicago Review of Books

"The Last American Road Trip is part memoir, part travelogue and part parenting philosophy [...] She loves America deeply and honestly and mourns the catastrophic damage to its people, ideals and land. She doesn't spare political elites of either party. Traveling with her across the country means taking a road trip punctuated with historical context that helps the reader understand what these places used to be and why they've become what they are." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Impassioned... Kendzior stitches together history, travelogue, and political analysis to deliver a trenchant defense of flyover country... It adds up to a poignant portrait of life in the Trump era." --Publishers Weekly

"A graceful--and righteously angry--travelogue through a troubled land." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"In the fraternity of authors of iconic road trip books, Kerouac, Steinbeck, Kuralt, Pirsig and Che now must step back to make room for Sarah Kendzior and her marvelous new memoir, The Last American Road Trip. [. . .] a stunning American travelogue describing breathtaking national parks, dark and scary caves, raging rivers, obscure hideaways, greasy spoons, and the colorful people one meets there. And, too, it is an angry jeremiad lamenting the moral and political decline of our country during two chaotic presidential elections, a global pandemic, severe health restrictions requiring social distancing and masks, and what she calls 'massive technological change and climate catastrophes' that follow her family wherever they go." --Ms Magazine

"Sarah Kendzior wanted her children to see not just the political turmoil that Kendzior usually writes about, but this country's monuments, parks, roads, culture, and most of all, its people. This is a beautiful book that's reflective, calming, and warm; a love story to America, but also a cautionary story that subtly reminds us who we are. Read this book about history-in-the-making, and it might send you on a cross-country journey of your own." --Galveston Daily News

"Books about politics in this Age of Trump can often provoke tears of rage. The Last American Road Trip [. . .] often had my eyes tearing up, but it was less often tears of rage as tears of loss, of longing, of beauty, of recognition, of nostalgia, and of the intense desire to see that America will survive the current drive to betray and destroy it." --Daily Kos

"How does one show love for a dysfunctional and broken country? That is the perplexing question posed by political journalist Kendzior in this lively memoir. [...] This new book is a more personal look at the country's most beautiful, fascinating, and bizarre qualities and places. Kendzior combines memoir and political history to memorialize a changing nation, with a definite political perspective. Highly recommended for general readers."--Jerry Stephens, Library Journal

"Honest, hopeful, and endlessly interesting, The Last American Road Trip is the latest testament to Kendzior as one of our treasured local talents."--St. Louis Magazine

They Knew: How A Culture of Conspiracy Keeps America Complacent

"I am hurtling through They Knew with a wonderful mix of admiration, writerly envy, and the deep satisfaction that comes with realizing that there are good, brilliant people out there still fighting the good fight... It's such a relief to hear someone point out the obvious in such a clear, confident, unarguable way."
―Sebastian Junger, New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Storm

"They Knew is a must read. Sarah Kendzior is like the Joan Didion of Missouri."
―Rachel Dodes, coauthor of The Memo

"The pathos of truth-seeking left me thinking of Herman Melville. I can't remember the last time I read a book where every sentence delivered."
―Timothy Snyder

"Kendzior chooses her examples of embedded crime with the skill of a brain surgeon--attempting a reverse lobotomy on a mostly comatose nation."
―Wall Street on Parade

An instant New York Times bestseller
Washington Post bestseller
USA Today bestseller

"This fucking rocks."
―Tori Amos

"Hiding in Plain Sight isn't just about Trump, but about how crumbling democracies intent on rolling back the freedoms of its citizens create perfect conditions for the rise of dangerous autocrats."
―Bitch Magazine, 2020 Nonfiction Preview

"Sarah Kendzior, in her brilliant new book, is one of the few journalists who grasps what is happening. Kendzior is a student of autocracy... she has been warning from the get-go that Trump is working to turn America into one."
―David Cay Johnston, New York Times bestselling author of It's Even Worse Than You Think and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

The View from Flyover Country: Dispatches from the Forgotten America

"Both prescient and honest...seeing the roots of the arguments that now dominate cable news is both fascinating and a little bit haunting in retrospect." ―NPR

"The talented Kendzior...writes intelligently and with great empathy about problems faced by the Midwest." ―New York Post
