The Real Americans connects two worlds that usually prefer to stay apart: the liberal, achingly hip, moral-relativism of gentrified city life and the conservative, absolutist, and often hostile populism that Dan found in small-town America during his 100-day trip in 2009. He shared meals and conversation with cowboys, coal miners, soldiers, rural drug dealers, itinerant preachers, closeted gay fundamentalists and creation theory experts.
Dan Hoyle is an actor, playwright, and journalist based in San Francisco.
