Thrilled my book is out in the world! It's a book about the rise & fall of US hegemony; about the road novel's trafficking in the fantasies of individual freedom and self-making that propel it; and about why we need to shatter those attachments for a more collective vision, narrative and politics.

From the editors: "given the ACSA leadership’s attempts at censorship since before the call for papers was published in Sept 2024, it is clear that they are using the “new actions by the U.S. presidential administration” as a convenient cover to execute what they had been planning to do all along."
