Freeways
 


"'He's heading for the Century.' The Century Freeway was empty,
and we flew east over Inglewood in a matter of minutes." (88)

 


“One day, Buzzworm got taken for a ride on the freeway. 
Got to pass over the Harbor Freeway, speed over the
hood like the freeway was a giant bridge.” (33)

 


"Manzanar concentrated on a noise that sounded like a mix of
an elephant and the wail of a whale, concentrating until it moaned
through the downtown canyons, shuddered past the on-ramps
and echoed up and down the one-ten." (119)

“Pepe didn’t pay no coyote. Just crossed the Rio Tijuana with a
bunch of others. Got caught twice by la migra and sent
back. Third time he made it. Crossed I-5 dead of night.
You don’t understand traffic till you dodge cars going
seventy miles an hour across ten lanes.” (76)
