The Suffering and Celebration of Life in America by Shane Bugbee
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is the book (accompanied by a DVD) documenting their year on the road plucky entrepreneur Shane Bugbee and his wife Amy spent in travails and travels discovering America taking videos and presenting a Q&A. Listening to my interview with Shane about this 6-January.
In the book, Shane and Amy survive privation, each other, and betrayal thanks to determination and Craig’s List. They meet the Craig’s List founder, a Christian military family living on a base, Satanists, a New Orleans rum maker, and more. The book chronologically takes us from before the start of the year, to the end on the eve of Obama’s first election to the presidency. Suspiciously, the last half of the year and especially the last few months is only thinly documented in the entertaining book where the two find unexpected connections and at times enlightenment in the road-spawned tribulations.
