"Herzog’s third travel memoir follows
the highways cross-country examining the idea of the hero along the
way. He also captures stunning details of the American landscape.
There are flashes of excellent self-awareness…the denouement, the
hero’s return, is irresistible...a near-perfect ending." -- Kirkus
Reviews
"Thank you Brad Herzog for taking me on
a truly epic journey. To quote another storyteller, his
words winged like arrows to the mark."
-- AJ Jacobs, author of The Know-It-All and The Year of
Living Biblically
"Turn Left at the Trojan Horse" had me howling
with laughter and nodding pensively at the razor sharp observation.
His epic road trip, tinged with local culture and flavored with the
Greek myths, is the stuff of legend itself and puts Herzog at the
forefront of the genre."
-- Tahir Shah, author of The Caliph's House and In
Search of King Solomon's Mines
"Brad Herzog is the perfect travel companion: funny, wise
and as good a storyteller as you'll find on the open road.
You can't help but want to spend a month in his passenger
seat after reading this book."
-- Chad Millman, author of The Detonators and The Odds
"A midlife quest that while grounded
in mythology, transports the reader along a redemptive, poetic
journey through small-town America."
-- Doreen Orion, author of Queen of the Road
"Herzog cleverly reinvents the original 'road trip' in his new book,
one that is more than just a timeless journey of self-discovery. He
is at his best when taking the reader to little-known towns born of
Homer's itinerary and introducing us to the endearing people who
make these places so uniquely American. As we sit in Herzog's
passenger seat, we cannot help but stare out the window and even see
our own reflection in the glass."
-- Liz Robbins, author of A Race Like No Other
"A soulful consideration of not only
the life journey of one man, but of us all -- not just those of us
living in the here and now."
-- Robert Leonard, The Next Chapter
bookstore (Knoxville, Iowa)
"Frankly, after encountering Paul
Theroux’s well-written travelogues of life on the road, I never
again expected to find another travel writer who appealed to me more
– that was until I started reading Brad Herzog’s Turn Left at the
Trojan Horse."
-- Lois Henderson, bookpleasures.com
