Anthropomorphosis

"A road-tripping travel memoir that's graced with humor, adventure, and wisdom." - Foreword Clarion Reviews

In Anthropomorphosis by playwright and author Stephen Evans, a post-divorce road trip is transformed into a transcendental adventure through the wilds and wastelands of the American West.

Following US I-90 from Minneapolis to Yellowstone and beyond, the author chronicles his explorations of the spectacular sites along the way, including Pipestone, The Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, and more. 

Informed by five essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson (Self-Reliance, The Poet, Experience, Nature, and Circles), the author's meandering yet synergistic outer and inner journeys explore his own (and our) capacity for understanding the world around us, and our place in it.

Author's Note: With some revisions, the content of this book was previously published in A Transcendental Journey.
