Description
Excerpt from Free Air
When the wheels struck the slime, they slid, they wallowed. The car skidded. It was terrifyingly out of control. It began majestically to turn toward the ditch. She fought: the steering wheel as though she were shadow-boxing, but the car kept contemptuously staggering till it was sideways, straight across the road. Somehow, it was back again, eating into a rut, going ahead. She didn''t know how she had done it, but she had got it back. She longed to take time to retrace her own cleverness in steering. She didn''t. She kept going.
