TIME Selects the Best Photobooks of 2016

If This Is True: I'll Never Have to Leave Home Again

“The American road trip is a photographic trope that's often abused by countless photographers, but Robin de Puy, through her truly personal approach, has produced an opus that sets her apart from the masses. Her American road trip spanned 8,000 miles on a motorcycle, but you'll rarely see pictures of stunning landscapes in her work. Instead, the Dutch photographer chose to focus on the people she met – sharing personal experiences that many photographes would shun. The result is a stunning study of today's America made all the more relevant after Donald Trump's election.”
