Summary of The Lincoln Highway - A Comprehensive Summary
Emmett stared out the window at the prairie, keeping his thoughts to himself. Warden Williams was a modern man with a master’s degree and good intentions. He had notions that he’d gathered from books and experience, and Emmett didn’t want to get into all that now. Some of the young men who come to Salina, Kansas, are destined for a life of trouble. They were never given much sense of right or wrong as children and see little reason for learning it now.
As a civilized society, we ask that even those who have had an unintended hand in misfortune pay some retribution. The rancher, Mr. Ransom, had paid his debt to society and now had his whole life ahead of him. But he didn’t agree that his debt had been paid in full. The kitchen looked cleaner than at any point in Emmett’s memory. On the table was a brown folder thick with papers as if it had been left there by somebody else.
Emmett and Mr. Ransom made no effort to respond. Walter explained that your father took out a new loan three years ago on top of the old mortgage. This year, what with your father’s passing, there will not be a harvest at all. Banker Emmett Ransom Obermeyer looked at his father’s estate with a mixture of skepticism and sympathy. We could have cleared out the property and put it up for sale, he said.
But we waited so that you could complete your term at Salina. Emmett looked around his father’s house. He saw the same...

Introduction
Girls was a semi-popular HBO television production that aired from 2012-2017. To say that it was not for everyone is quite the understatement. The show could be very crude, and your religion didn’t have to lean Pentecostal for you to feel that way.
Just the same, the series was at times very well written and insightful. One episode toward the end of the show’s run had Marnie (one of the “Girls”) in a bad spot. As so many do in real life, she was looking to shift the blame for her declining situation to others only for a grizzled, one-time character to tell her something along the lines of “I’ve never seen anyone at the pawn shop because of what others did.”
The actual piece of televised dialogue was much better put. Once again, the writing on Girls was at times very good. The episode mentioned came to mind while reading The Lincoln Highway, the latest novel by mega-bestselling author Amor Towles. What will be described as Highway going forward is Towles’s third book, after he garnered major popularity with his debut The Rules of Civility, followed by A Gentleman In Moscow. Both novels were good reads, with A Gentleman In Moscow spectacular.
On to the economics.
