A Free Man is a satirical tale presented as the drug and alcohol fuelled conversation of two old friends getting reacquainted. It's also a time travel story about a future where the world is ruled by robots and humans are vermin. When timelines cross, the world as we know it bends...Skid Roe is completely self-absorbed and delusional. His struggle to exercise free will is hampered by the rules of contemporary life. He's both aided and hindered by Lem, a robot from the future whose good intentions leave Skid on the run from a shadowy state security agency.
"If you've ever wondered what the embittered literary love child of Philip Roth and Kurt Vonnegut might look like, then search no further than Michel Basilires." -- Toronto Star
Michel Basilires was born and raised in Montreals Milton Park neighbourhood and now lives with his son in Toronto. He is the author of Black Bird, a magic realist novel set during the October Crisis.
