<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Ed Griffin-Nolan's Nobody Hitchhikes Anymore is an "act of loving rebellion" (Sean Kirst, Buffalo News) and a travelogue about a changing society and the people who lifted him up.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In the summer of 1978, Griffin-Nolan and a friend took to the road, hitchhiking from New York to California, on to New Orleans and back home to New York. As 2018 approached, the itch to hitch returned-but most people seemed to believe that this was now impossible. Griffin-Nolan decided to find out why</em> nobody hitchhiked anymore. With a backpack, a hashtag, and a sign, he stuck out his thumb near his house, and let luck, and the road, take him where it would. Nobody Hitchhikes Anymore </em>is an "act of loving rebellion" (Sean Kirst, Buffalo News</em>) and a travelogue about a changing society and the people who lifted him up. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Hitchhiking, in essence, involves those with the elemental-a vehicle that moves-offering the most immediate of gifts to those, at least in the moment, who are utterly without. It is also a chance for little miracles, for connections and confessions, and as Griffin-Nolan unwinds each one within these chapters-as you meet the jobless and the dreamers and the nostalgic and, again and again and again, the fundamentally kind-you realize that his journey, above all else, is an act of loving rebellion." - Sean Kirst</strong>, Buffalo News </em>columnist and Ernie Pyle Award winner</p><p><br></p><p>"Griffin-Nolan's spontaneous, unpredictable pilgrimage to revive old memories works wonderfully as a reminiscence for those who were there in the '70s and as encouragement for those who might contemplate such a venture now." - <em>Feathered Quill Book Reviews</em></strong></p><br>
