Title
Looking For America On The New Jersey Turnpike,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Two American Studies professors from Rutgers University here show how the New Jersey Turnpikethat 'ugly icon,'' America's 'widest and most traveled'' roadhas found its way into the minds, if not the hearts, of artists and drivers alike. In poet Allen Ginsberg, singer Bruce Springsteen, commuters and roadside home owners lulled to sleep by its drone of traffic, this 12lane asphalt monster has inspired powerful reactions, from admiration to anger. The authors consider the first asparagus patch plowed up to lay the road; the $70,000 salary a contemporary tolltaker can earn with hefty overtime; and the not infrequent lawlessness of the highway patrol. From the grayflannelsuit diligence that built it, to the mixture of necessity, practicality and venality that maintains it, the New Jersey Turnpike proves to be an enthralling though unlikely subject.
