Synopsis
While in many ways reaffirming the mythic dimension of being on the road already romanticized in American pop and folk culture, "Revelation Countdown" also subtly undermines that view. These stories project onto the open road not the nirvana of personal freedom but rather a type of freedom more closely resembling loss of control. Being in constant motion and passing through new environments destabilizes life, casts it out of phase, heightens perception, skews reactions. Every little problem is magnified to overwhelming dimensions; events segue from slow motion to fast forward; background noises intrude, causing perpetual weehour insomnia. Imagination flourishes, often as an enemy: people suddenly discover that they never really understood their travelling companions. The formerly stable line of their lives veers off course. In such an atmosphere, the title "Revelation Countdown," borrowed from a roadside sign in Tennessee, proves prophetic: It may not arrive at 7:30, but revelation will inevitably find the traveller., While in many ways reaffirming the mythic dimension of being on the road already romanticized in American pop and folk culture, Revelation Countdown also subtly undermines that view.

- n***a (949)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseNothing but a ripe off outfit. Sold a hard copy, later told me it was sold out but they had a paperback they could substitute, then nothing for weeks. I finally had to get Ebay involved to even get a refund. DON'T OFFER WHAT YOU AREN'T GOING TO SELL!
