? Towles 的这部小说横跨十天，以多个视角讲述，满足他多层次的文学风格的粉丝，同时为他们提供一系列新的、想象力丰富的环境、人物和主题。“我再次被托尔斯的写作所震撼。特别是因为《林肯公路》在环境、情节和主题方面与《莫斯科的绅士》有很大不同。Towles 并不是一枝独秀，像所有讲故事的人一样，他有自己的范围。他从英雄旅程中获得灵感，包括《伊利亚特》、《奥德赛》、《哈姆雷特》、《哈克贝利-芬》和《人鼠之间》。他似乎在说，我们的个人旅程永远不会像州际公路那样线性或可预测。但是，他建议，当有东西（或人）试图引导我们偏离方向时，有可能会把握住我们的方向盘”。—— 比尔盖茨

“Wise and wildly entertaining . . . permeated with light, wit, youth.” —The New York Times Book Review
“A classic that we will read for years to come.” —Jenna B. Hager, Read with Jenna book club
“Fantastic. Set in 1954, Towles uses the story of two brothers to show that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as we might hope.” —Bill Gates
“A real joyride . . . elegantly constructed and compulsively readable.” —NPR
In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett's future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction—to the City of New York.
Spanning just ten days and told from multiple points of view, Towles's third novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary styling while providing them an array of new and richly imagined settings, characters, and themes. “Once again, I was wowed by Towles’s writing—especially because The Lincoln Highway is so different from A Gentleman in Moscow in terms of setting, plot, and themes. Towles is not a one-trick pony. Like all the best storytellers, he has range. He takes inspiration from famous hero’s journeys, including The Iliad, The Odyssey, Hamlet, Huckleberry Finn, and Of Mice and Men. He seems to be saying that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as an interstate highway. But, he suggests, when something (or someone) tries to steer us off course, it is possible to take the wheel.” – Bill Gates
