Summary

The nine chapters in Part III track Ilf and Petrov as they traveled Route 66 from Chicago to the desert Southwest. Their journey through low-rise America allowed them to experience American highways, sample American road food, and interact with hitchhikers they picked up along the way. In Arizona and New Mexico, they visited Native American villages and national parks that appear today much as Ilf and Petrov would have seen them. Retracing their journey raises in particularly acute form the basic questions of historical research: How and to what extent can we understand people separated from us by identity, ideology, language – and time?
