The Road to Now Here
From nowhere to now here
The Road to Now Here by JD Noone is a modern British memoir that re-imagines the road trip narrative with literary depth and mythic resonance. Set in 1970s Britain, the story follows two friends and a red Honda motorcycle as they journey from a railway platform to the wild Cornish coast. Along the way, the landscape becomes a character, echoing with local legends and the spirit of adventure.
Inspired by the restless wisdom of Jack Kerouac, Ken Kesey, and Samuel Beckett, this memoir blends philosophical reflection, humor, and the warmth of enduring friendship. The journey is guided by three unforgettable companions: The Nurse, a source of healing and quiet wisdom; George, a trickster who sparks transformation; and Henry, the motorcycle, a vessel for memory and the spirit of the road. Together, they form a secular trinity, leading the protagonists, and the reader, through moral and existential questions that arise on the journey.
Perfect for readers who appreciate literary memoirs, philosophical fiction, and stories that blend heart, humour, and a touch of the surreal, The Road to Now Here invites you to find meaning in travel, comfort in companionship, and curiosity in the unknown. As the story reminds us: "Knowledge comes from books, wisdom comes from the road."
