For thesis research...
A well-researched and well-written book - but at times, a bit long in the tooth... As well, the author postulates that the absence of women in road novels or "automobile fiction" is the purposeful determination of men is a bit short-sighted and is reflexively sexist. American culture has been sexist, and that may be the fault of a patriarchal society, and our literature therefore reflects that - and it is therefore a stretch of logic to say that men are responsible for the absence of women in the aforesaid literary genre. The fault lies in the foundations of our culture, which goes way back in time and history - the fault doesn't lie with a few male writers penning books in the last hundred years. The good news is, this paradigm has changed - yet the book doesn't present this attitude at all, it only harps on the negative.
