nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Road to Now Here is a quietly surreal, emotionally resonant work of autofiction that blends memory, imagination, and the strange edges of ordinary life.August 1975. Two students - John, the literary rebel, and Dave, the introspective coder - set out from Derby Station on a motorcycle journey to Cornwall. When their train is delayed, they step into a waiting room that feels suspended outside time. A clown with a brittle smile, a rabbit clutching a pocket watch, a nurse who seems to know more than she should - each encounter nudges them toward the edges of the real.What begins as a simple holiday becomes a meditation on youth, identity, and the stories we carry. As the journey unfolds, memories surface, regrets stir, and the road ahead becomes a place where the past whispers and the future waits. The friends navigate both the literal landscape of 1970s England and the inner terrain of fear, humour, grief, and wonder.Blending lived experience with mythic undertones, JD Noone crafts a tribute to a lost friend and to the strange magic of being young at a moment when everything feels possible. This is a story about friendship, curiosity, and the quiet moments that shape a life long after the journey ends.For readers drawn to literary fiction, magical realism, and reflective coming¿of¿age stories, The Road to Now Here offers a compelling exploration of how memory bends, how reality shimmers, and how the road never truly ends - it only changes direction.…

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."
