Hit The Road

The road trip dates back to Homer's Odyssey, and fiction has been on the road ever since. American Purgatorio sees a man looking for his wife, who simply vanished when they stopped for petrol, The Ice Age indulges two travellers with no particular place to go and The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim highlights the dangers of getting too intimate with your sat nav. Hit the road this summer with a good book in your knapsack.
