Other maps had a more practical use: some demarcated national boundaries or individual plots of land; military plans depicted enemy positions; propaganda treatises showed one country or faction at an advantage over others.

Why not piss other people off? And anybody who didn’t know what knights-errant meant should renew her library card. (6)The story involves one summer in 2002 when a mostly absent father takes his 10 year old son on a road trip across America. The glimpses into time and place were spot on, offering an insight into the culture which was wonderful. The characters, however, were bland and I struggled to relate to either of them. The dad was often pretentious, and the way he spoke to his son was odd... The ex-wife/mother was only involved in the story on the periphery -- in phone conversations -- but she was portrayed as a nag rather than a mother who just entrusted her son to the failing dad for an entire summer. However, the boy shares some nuggets of wisdom that can only come from a child, and those are the most resonant and nuanced moments in the book. The boy is the character that was most realistic and the one I will remember most.

For me, this story is missing the single most important conversation between father and son. It’s missing a few others that should have been included too. Maybe it’s a purposeful technique so the reader can imagine or intuit the interactions but there’s not enough of the characters given to us for that to happen.
