The Boston Car Wars (1978)
is the first fictional treatment
of an effort to
dispose entirely of
the automobile.
Adam Panflick
gambler
failed theologian and
lover of the elusive Serena
determines to
combat the car
in the most challenging
arena of all,
the city of Boston
The result is mayhem
A feast of
car crashes
that would warm the
heart of a Guy Grand
Fiction it is
and so it should remain
Nonetheless
in the years since
its imagined happening
there has been
a growing realization
that a world
tied to big oil and
the seductions of
the automobile industry
is not a safe place
for future generations.
