American Interior: The quixotic journey of John Evans, his search for a lost tribe and how, fuelled by fantasy and (possibly) booze, he accidentally annexed a third of North America - Softcover
Synopsis
American Interior is a psychedelic historical travelogue from Welsh pop legend Gruff Rhys.
LONGLISTED FOR THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARD
SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE
In 1792, John Evans, a twenty-two-year-old farmhand from Snowdonia, Wales, travelled to America to discover whether there was indeed, as widely believed, a tribe of Welsh-speaking native Americans still walking the great plains.
In 2012, Gruff Rhys set out on an 'investigative concert tour' in the footsteps of John Evans, with concerts in New Orleans, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St Louis, North Dakota and more.
American Interior is the story of these journeys. It is also an exploration of how wild fantasies interact with hard history and how myth-making can inspire humans to partake in crazy, vain pursuits of glory, including exploration, war and the creative arts.
'Brilliantly life-affirming . . . highlights a world of wonder' Guardian
'A joyous and poignant celebration of the mythical and the real' Caught by the River
'Charming and entertainingly written' Independent
