This book analyzes contemporary Anglophone road narratives from a transcultural perspective. By bringing together texts set in Australia, Africa, Canada, Europe, Aotearoa/New Zealand, India, and the US, it grapples with the road narrative as a global genre as opposed to a traditionally American one. In so doing, it conceptualizes the genre in a deterritorialized manner and highlights engagement with transcultural phenomena through ten close readings. Building on literary mobility studies, the book interrogates the poetics and politics of automobility, as well as the affordances and limits of this form of mobility. It also contributes to larger debates concerning the role of technologies and infrastructures under global modernity.
