Romance of the Road: The Literature of the American Highway

Get out your Kerouac poems and your James Dean posters. We're going On the Road via this examination of a nation's fascination with cars and speed. The American love of the open road reflects a sense of freedom, of rebellion. It represents a methodology of dialogue and of discontent. If you've ever wanted to roar down Route 66, you'll love this exploration into the whys and wherefores of America's favorite national escape from routine. Move over Charles Kuralt!
