# 2023 National Book Festival: On 'The Lincoln Highway' with Amor Towles

Amor Towles' latest novel, "The Lincoln Highway," is a classic American road novel but within that narrative framework, it continually surprises. It's about 18-year-old Emmett Watson, who has to get to nowhere in particular, fast, after his father dies and the bank forecloses on their Nebraska farm.
