Krátky popis
In 2006, in the wake of several miscarriages, Joanna Pocock
travelled by Greyhound bus across the US from Detroit to Los
Angeles. Seventeen years later, now in her 50s, she undertakes the
same journey, revisiting the same cities, edgelands, highways and
motels in the footsteps of the few women writers – Simone de
Beauvoir, Ethel Mannin and Irma Kurtz – who chronicled their own
road trips across the US. In&,nbsp,Greyhound, Pocock explores
the overlap of place and memory, the individual with the communal,
and the privatization of public space as she navigates two very
different landscapes – an earlier, less atomized America, and a
current one mired in inequality, as it teeters on the brink of
environmental catastrophe.Her focus is on the built-upon
environment: the rivers of tarmac, the illuminated gas stations,
the sprawling suburbs and the sites of extraction created
specifically to fuel contemporary life. Combining memoir,
reportage, environmental writing and literary
criticism,&,nbsp,Greyhound&,nbsp,is a moving and immersive
book that captures an America in the throes of late capitalism with
all its beauty, horror and complexity.
