Hopping a freight in the St. Louis rail yards, Ted Conover—winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award—embarks on his dream trip, traveling the rails with “the knights of the road.” Equipped with rummage store clothing, a bedroll, and his notebooks, Conover immerses himself in the peculiar culture of the hobo, where handshakes and intoductions are foreign, but where everyone knows where the Sally (Salvation Army) and the Willy (Goodwill) are. Along the way he encounters unexpected charity (a former cop goes out of his way to offer Conover a dollar) and indignities (what do you do when there are no public bathrooms?) and learns how to survive on the road.But above all, Conover gets to know the men and women who, for one reason or another, live this life. There’s Lonny, who accepts that there are some towns he can’t enter before dark because he’s black, and Pistol Pete, a cowboy who claims his son is a doctor and his daughter a ballerina, and Sheba Sheila Sheils, who’s built herself a house out of old tires. By turns resourceful and desperate, generous and mistrusting, independent and communal, philosophical and profoundly cynical, the tramps Conover meets show him a segment of humanity outside society, neither wholly romantic nor wholly tragic, and very much like the rest of us.

At this time of writing, The Mobi Rolling Nowhere has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Mobi is Good TO READ!

Conover is a very good writer and this is an engaging account of his summer adventure: riding the rails with hoboes, exactly as the book cover says. In fact, it reads like a long, very well written term paper, except that it bears an extremely personal imprint. As a young man's personal summer adventure, then, it's a good, pleasant read. I give it an average rating, however, because it could be much more. Indeed, since this edition contains an updated Preface, Conover presumably had opportunity to reflect on and analyze the lives of the people he writes about within a more sophisticated sociological framework. That he didn't do that limits his book to being an entertaining, even fascinating adventure story. His material lends itself to being much more.
