Longlisted for the NBCC Award for CriticismCombining history, reportage, and nature writing with intimate moments of reflection, Greyhound. tells of the journey from miscarriage to parenthood, and the purpose creativity gives to our lives when we feel purposeless. In 2006, in the wake of several miscarriages, Joanna Pocock traveled by Greyhound bus across the United States from Detroit to Los Angeles. 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, Greyhound. is a moving and immersive book that captures an America in the throes of late capitalism with all its beauty, horror, and complexity.
