Curious about her love for the 1960s counterculture author and poet Richard Brautigan and his work, Allison Green and her partner take a road trip tracing the route of his most famous work, Trout Fishing in America. Along the way, in The Ghosts Who Travel with Me, she examines how we relate to the influences in our lives—the ancestors who created us, the past the shaped us, the writers who changed the way we saw the world—and how these elements make us who we are.
