What do you do if you want to really understand a country, to understand its people and feel its heartbeat? You can follow the rest of the tourists, or you can take the advice of Watergate reporter Bob Woodwardβs source, βDeep Throatβ, and βfollow the money.β Starting out in Lebanon, Kansas β the geographical centre of America β journalist Steve Boggan did just that by setting free a ten-dollar-bill and accompanying it on an epic journey for thirty days and thirty nights through six states across 3,000 miles armed only with a sense of humor and a small, and increasingly grubby, set of clothes. As he cuts crops with farmers in Kansas, pursues a repo-woman from Colorado, gets wasted with a blues band in Arkansas and hangs out at a quarterbackβs mansion in St Louis, Boggan enters the lives of ordinary people as they receive β and pass on β the bill. What emerges is a chaotic, affectionate and funny portrait of the real modern-day America.
