Living the Linger: Freedom on the American Highway

by The Raven Brothers, Chris Raven, Simon Raven

Overview

The sudden break up with Emily Willow finds online producer, Simon Raven, aboard a Boeing bound for Seattle. Led by his twin brother, Chris, who is more than happy to exchange a career in fashion photography for the open road, they embark on a buttock-clenching journey of paranoia and self-doubt, as they traverse Interstate 15 across backcountry America. Along the way the hapless duo stumble through bear infested wilderness, meet the eccentric and plain weird on the American freeway, escape a bullwhip wielding maniac in Missoula and survive the evils of Las Vegas. Testing their friendship to the limit as they battle to reach their nirvana, which exists in the form of the beaches of California, the brothers find inspiration on a journey that exposes the stark truth about work and relationships and which asks the question - what do you really want to do with your life?

About the Author

The Raven Brothers were born in the United Kingdom. The first published work by the authors, Living the Linger, tells the story of lost love and a search for the truth during a road trip from Seattle to Los Angeles through backcountry USA. The publication of Driving the Trans- Siberian a year later, established the brothers as travel writers following a life-altering drive from the UK to Vladivostok in a rusty Ford Sierra. Noted by Lonely Planet for their talent to portray an “accurate view of what to expect”, Driving the Trans-Siberian spurred a life on the road. Carnival Express was the concluding title in the Linger Series trilogy, and follows two struggling writers on a quest to traverse the Trans-oceanic highway, from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coast of South America. A period of photojournalism, documenting new and off the beaten track destinations, tribal India, China’s Deep South and Crimea, led to the release of Black Sea Circuit. Seizing a narrow window of opportunity to cross the notorious Caucasus frontier, the book explores great legends from Jason and the Argonauts to a tribe of fierce female warriors known as the Amazons. Hike, Drive, Stayin’ Alive! the duo’s fifth book, is the first in a collection of ten candid stories of adventure by The Raven Brothers.
