A 21st Century Road Novel

Listen Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2007 at 1:28 p.m. in Arts & Culture

Many American writers have tried their hand at the road novel. But Mark Danielewski takes this classic genre onto an entirely different plane, creating a book that reads backwards, forwards, and sideways as it tells the story of two teenagers traveling across the country. Join Kojo as we explore Danielewski's novel and discuss experimentation in modern fiction.
