Seventeen years later, she undertakes the same journey, revisiting the cities, edgelands, highways, and motels in the footsteps of the few women writers--Simone de Beauvoir, Ethel Mannin, and Irma Kurtz--who also chronicled their road trips across the United States. Combining memoir, reportage, environmental writing, and literary criticism, \u003ci\u003eGreyhound\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving and immersive book that captures an America in the throes of late capitalism with all its beauty, horror, and complexity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJOANNA POCOCK\u003c\/b\u003e is an Irish Canadian writer living in London.
