    Synopsis

    Paes de Barros (English, Palomar College) puts women at the wheel in her exploration of literary and personal experiences between the points of departure and arrival. She examines the mythology of frontier space, the role of women who are out of their expected place, the relationship between the maternal and the road, how the road attends to the end of the world, and the mechanics of the drive- by utopia. Along the way she examines the newly-discovered self and the lure of the different and constantly changing. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
