This is a satirical work of sheer genius. No wonder this man is the Father of 20th Century American Satire. Written back then—still sadly relevant in the America of today.

A thought-provoking mess of clashing ignorance, racism, capitalism and analysis of the so-called American dream and so forth. Characters tied to circumstance and poverty, driven by survival or greed into an inevitable pileup on the interstate finish of this short masterpiece. 

I listened to the audiobook read by Stanley Tucci, who is the perfect tone and voice for this work.
