false 3308358 3 About a quarter century ago, a previously unknown writer named William Least Heat-Moon wrote a book called <I>Blue Highways</I>. Acclaimed as a classic, it was a travel book like no other. Quirky, discursive, endlessly curious, Heat-Moon had embarked on an American journey off the beaten path. Sticking to the small places via the small roads--those colored blue on maps--he uncovered a nation deep in character, story, and charm. <BR>Now, for the first time since <I>Blue Highways</I>, Heat-Moon is back on the backroads.
