When they returned home, they published their work in Ogonek, the Soviet equivalent of Time magazine, and later in the book Odnoetazhnaia Amerika (Single-Storied America). This wonderful lost work filled with wry observations, biting opinions, and telling photographs is now collected in Ilf and Petrov's American Road Trip, the first English translation."
