A Man Of The Road

The tale of Little Mikey, a young boy who must take to the South African road with only his thumb as a guide.

Author and actor (Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Redeeming Love) Milton Schorr’s second novel, A Man Of The Road, tells the story of Little Mikey, a young boy from the mythical West Coast town of Freeburg, who must one day set out on an epic cross-country hitch-hiking journey to Africa’s greatest city: Goldtown.

On his dangerous way he encounters characters from all sections of South African society, and from each he learns an aspect of what it is to truly be free, to live life as ‘A Man Of The Road.’

Author Milton Schorr has been hitch-hiking since his early teens, and has criss-crossed Southern Africa, Europe and Australia. ‘A Man Of The Road’ is a meeting of fact and fiction, a translation of what it is to be out in the open, one’s future given to fate, with only one’s faith in human kindness as a guide.

A Man Of The Road is Schorr’s second novel after the award-winning Strange Fish, and will be available worldwide in July 2022.

REVIEWS

Just magical. I immediately want to start reading it again. Touching and beautiful. Not at all what I thought it would be. Johann Vermaak, Actor, Swaaibraai.

Another fabulous work. Beautifully layered with that same cracking pace and constant change of direction that characterised Strange Fish. Love it. Rod Burn

These characters pop off the pages in bursts of colour and fantasy. Masterful. - Karl Kemp, author Promised Land.
