description: Turn Left at the Trojan Horse has been described as On the Road meets Eat Pray Love because it goes well beyond a road trip. More than just a funny and profound narrative of Brad Herzog's cross-country trek toward a college reunion in Ithaca (New York) and more than another reimagining of Odysseus's ancient journey (he visits places like Troy OR... Iliad MT... Apollo PA...) it is a memoir exploring the parameters of a heroic existence - by chronicling the lives of people in America's oft-ignored spaces by examining the universal truths embedded in ancient myths and by undertaking a fair bit of self-evaluation. It is the memoir of an Everyman searching for the hero within.
