Fans of the cult hit reality TV show Ice Road Truckers know Alex Debogorski as the trucker most likely to be the first man sent—along with his trusty rig and seventy-thousand-pound load—onto the virgin tracks of ice that double as winter roads in Canada’s remote northern regions. Debogorski’s humour, fearlessness, and philosophical insights into his fantastically dangerous job have made him a fan favourite on the show, and with a lifetime of rollicking tales of the North under his belt, it was only natural that he’d sit down to write his autobiography. Debogorski will be launching that book, titled King of the Road: True Tales from a Legendary Ice Road Trucker, at the Word on the Street festival on Sunday, September 26.
