Right now he revisits America as well as the people who have most fascinated him to attempt to uncover what motivates them, why they believe the items they believe, and to find out what offers happened to them since he last noticed them. Along the way Louis thinks about what drives him to spend so enough time among strange people, and considers whether he’s discovered anything about himself throughout 10 years working with them.
