What happens when a writer can no longer write What happens when pain is so intense that you question who you are and whether you can bare it any longer

Oliver Mol was a successful clever healthy twentyfiveyear old Then one day the migraine started

For ten months the pain was constant exacerbated by writing reading using computers looking at phones or anything with a screen Slowly he became a writer who no longer wrote and a person who could no longer could communicate with the modern world In literature and life Oliver began to disappear

His doctors cant figure out how to fix him He suffers a breakdown One evening high on pain killers Oliver Googles the only thing he can think of fulltime job no experience Sydney An ad for a train guard appears and desperate Oliver takes it

For two years Oliver will watch others live their lives observing the minutia and intimacy of strangers brought together briefly and connected by the steady march of time

Exquisitely written and bravely told Train Lord is a searingly personal yet universal book which asks what happens when your sense of self is suddenly destroyed and how you get it back
