Conover’s narrative nonfiction books tend to be research of small-scale social groups. Conover is often an active member of the subculture he writes about. The first time he tried the blending of anthropological and journalistic methods took place in 1980, as he rode on freight railroads between Western United States with some of the last remaining hoboes. The experience, originally written as an ethnography to be used in an honors dissertation, eventually became the basis for his first-person memoir, Rolling Nowhere: Riding the Rails with America’s Hoboes (1984).

In his subsequent publication, Coyotes: A Journey Across Borders with America’s Illegal Migrants (1987) He concentrated on illegal immigrants, calling them “the true modern-day incarnation of the classic American hobo.” Conover traveled for a full year with Mexicans to write Coyotes He resided in the “feeder” valley in the Mexican state of Queretaro and also visited Arizona, Idaho, California and Florida and traveled across borders three times. The book, written in 1987, was released in a revised edition in 2006 with a brand new title and preface: “A Journey Across Borders With America’s Mexican Migrants.”
