Thanks for Leland's
good review of "The Terminal" in New York Times, and for your comment and
recommendation of "In Transit".

I think of William Inge's 1955 play "Bus Stop". There must be movies or
novels set primarily in Pennsylvania Station or other railroad terminals?

EDNOTE. The film "The Terminal" seems to me the antithesis of the road
novel. For an excellent exemplar of the anti-road novel I recommend Brigid
Brophy's 1969 "In Transit"--an avant-garde novel well worth the effort.
