I Was Looking for a Street tells the story of the author's childhood and adolescence as an orphan, as he moves from railroad yards to hobo tent cities, to soup kitchens and deserts around Los Angeles and across the United States. The ensuing tale is at once a picaresque adventure through Depression-era America and a portrait of the writer as a young man of seemingly little promise but great spirit.

The narrator isn’t bad, just not the right tone for Willeford. Bowlby has been the best so far.
Willeford fans will find lots worthy of interest in this memoir. Anecdotes and character descriptions that made their way into Willeford’s later fiction. Willeford’s contribution to the genre of hobo travel literature he loved. Accounts of the early family relationships that continued to shape Willeford throughout his life. It’s great.
