In the spirit of Patti Smith’s M Train, Road Series is both love story and elegy. Renowned musician Hugo Race’s evocations of Melbourne, Sydney, the USA, Europe and Mali, and the life of a rock musician on the road are revealing, incisive and exquisitely written.

‘A cerebral “road-poem” of the musician-as-outlier, crossing decades and continents, from the Melbourne punk scene of the early 1980s to — quite literally — Timbuktu.’  — Luke Davies, author of Candy and God of Speed

‘Hugo writes with a unique voice and the insights of one in the middle of the maelstrom.’ — Mick Harvey
