- Binding: Hardcover

Description:
Travis Hugh Culley went to Chicago to make his name in its burgeoning theater scene, yet found in his day job a sense of community and fulfillment -- and a brotherhood of like-minded individualists -- that he encountered nowhere else. He was an invisible man in society yet at the same time its -- most intimate observer. In the almost slavish servitude of the job, he found freedom.
Expand description
In The Immortal Class, Culley takes us inside the heart and soul of an American urban icon: the bicycle messenger. In describing his own history and that of his peers, he evokes a classic American maverick, deeply woven into the fabric of society -- from the pits of squalor to the highest reaches of power and privilege -- yet always resolutely, exuberantly outside.
Culley's voice is at once earthy and soaringly poetic -- a Gen-X Tom Joad at hyperspeed. The Immortal Class is a unique personal and political narrative of a cyclist's life on the street.
