Abstract

Steve Erickson is an author so worried about the meaning of his country that his thematic obsessions influence and dictate the form and content of his writing. This project follows his thematic fixations over the course of his oeuvre to date with both the Dream and promise/paradox of America in mind, attending to the manifestation of these worries in his metaphorization of highways, dreamscapes and rock and roll.
