Author and actor 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 hitchhiking 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 hitchhiking 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.
