Carsick : John Waters hitchhikes across America / John Waters London: Corsair, 2014.
Call No: 81 WAT WATAuthor: Waters, John Place: LondonPublisher: CorsairPubDate: 2014PhysDes: 324 p. ; 22 cmSubject: WATERS, JOHN (US) ; ROAD MOVIES Summary: John Waters is putting his life on the line. Armed with wit, a pencil-thin moustache, and a cardboard sign that reads 'I'm Not Psycho', he hitchhikes across America from Baltimore to San Francisco, braving lonely roads and treacherous drivers. But who should we be more worried about, the delicate film director with genteel manners or the unsuspecting travelers transporting the Pope of Trash?
Along the way, Waters fantasizes about the best and worst possible scenarios: a friendly drug dealer hands over piles of cash to finance films with no questions asked, a demolition-derby driver makes a filthy sexual request in the middle of a race, a gun-toting drunk terrorizes and holds him hostage, and a Kansas vice squad entraps and throws him in jail. So what really happens when this cult legend sticks out his thumb and faces the open road?
Laced with subversive humour and warm intelligence, Carsick is an unforgettable ride with a wickedly funny companion - and a celebration of America's weird, astonishing, and generous citizens. -- Publisher's websiteISBN: 9781472116130

Driving visions : exploring the road movie / David Laderman Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, 2002.
Call No: 754.11 LADAuthor: Laderman, David Source: USPlace: Austin, TXPublisher: University of Texas PressPubDate: 2002PhysDes: 322 p. : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: ROAD MOVIES Summary: This book traces the generic evolution of the road movie with respect to its diverse presentations, emphasising it as an “independent genre” that attempts to incorporate marginality and subversion on many levels. David Laderman begins by identifying the road movie’s defining features and by establishing the literary, classical Hollywood, and 1950s highway culture antecedents that formatively influence it. He then traces the historical and aesthetic evolution of the road movie decade by decade through detailed and lively discussions of key films. Laderman concludes with a look at the European road movie, from the late 1950s auteurs through Godard and Wenders, and at compelling feminist road movies of the 1980s and 1990s.
