In journeys of self-discovery, quests to define our national identity, opportunities to escape from the daily routine, and expressions of social protest - the American road narrative has been a significant and popular literary genre for four decades.

With roots reaching back to quest romance and pilgrimage, the literature of the American highway explores our diverse and often conflicted cultural values.
