The Walking Man begins his journey lost in the deserts of Jordan and explores a year in the life of the main character — someone very similar to the author — and his attempts to make sense of a tumultuous year. Based on many of the author’s own experiences, The Walking Man mixes reality and fiction in a tale of heartbreak, friendship, and personal history that uses walking to thread it all together. Whether he is tripping through a blackout in downtown Toronto, stumbling into a massive war re-enactment, or outwitting the law while speed-walking beside his 93-year-old scooter-riding confidant, Mary, The Walking Man eventually makes his way, on foot, all the way from Toronto to Niagara Falls in his quest to find the truth.
