by Meaghan Garvey (Author)
Meaghan Garvey's Midwestern Death Trip is part memoir, part gonzo reportage, in which the great American road trip meets an unsparing coming-of-age story. Estranged in the most misunderstood part of the country, Garvey navigates her blood-red Cadillac around the Midwest to chronicle her itinerant personal life amid a landscape of forgotten ghosts and backwoods bar tops.
