The Man Who Travelled on Motorways

During his long, late-night drives along the motorways of Britain—through Manchester, London and the South Lancashire mill towns—our narrator falls victim to a series of psychoses. Soon these familiar landscapes are no longer what they seem, taking on a nightmarish quality as he descends into reminiscence and doubt, and the objective world crumbles to dust in his hands.The Man Who Travelled on Motorways is a cult classic, the first novel to exploit the mystique of motorway travel—the realities, unrealities and fantasies that take over the mind of the long-distance driver—from award-winning novelist Trevor Hoyle.
