Maps to Anywhere

The essays in "Maps to Anywhere" plot terrain that is at once familiar and subtly strange. Writing on subjects ranging from his family to the origin of the barbershop pole, Bernard Cooper digs into the glimmering surface of the southern California landscape, observing the collision of the American Dream with the realities of everyday life. From the fragments, he discovers landmarks by which he attempts to make sense of contemporary America.Cooper, Bernard is the author of 'Maps to Anywhere' with ISBN 9780820311906 and ISBN 0820311901.
