- Description
- Assesses the "ecocritical insights" of Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" via its intertexual relations with the "pilgrimage ecopoetics" of CT, exploring structural similarities in the works and their vernacularity, metatextual references, "linguistic and physical contingency, and slow walking, where
slowness functions as a form of rebellion."
