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 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.’

Die storie van Jono, die alleenloper-visserman, wat een dag ‘n wonderwerk vang.

Jono is ’n alleenloper-visserman wat met harde werk sy skuld moet terugbetaal. Uncle Mike is ’n fabriekbaas wat worstel om kop bo water te hou. Die Baai is ’n klein plekkie waarvan die inwoners al vir generasies op dieselfde manier hengel. En nou’s daar nie meer vis nie.

Wanneer uitlanders met reuse vissersbote opdaag, steier dié eenvoudige gemeenskap onder die fratsgolwe van ’n veranderende wêreld. Hoe gaan die Baai dit oorleef? Maar die seun het ’n sonderlinge talent: hy kan die visse se gedagtes hoor.

En in die dieptes skuil ’n groot geheim, iets wat slegs Jono met sy lyn kan uitkatrol…

Jono is a lonely fisherman who must work hard to pay the debt he owes. Uncle Mike is a factory owner trying desperately to stay above water. The Baai is a tiny town, peopled with those who have fished the same way for generations. And now there are no fish.

When a race of foreigners arrive with ships that stagger the ways of the Baai's simple folk, it seems the village will be washed away by the tide of the turning world. But for one boy with an uncommon talent: he can hear the thoughts of fishes.

For in the deep a secret lies buried, and through Jono’s line it must come tumbling out.
