Book Synopsis
Cabdrivers and their yellow taxis are as much a part of the cityscape as the high-rise buildings and the subway. And, undoubtedly, taxi drivers have stories to tell. This title recounts tales that offers a vision of Chicago and its people.

Trade Review
"Fact: I first rode in Dmitry's cab when he was driving in Boston in 1993. He owned the first cellular phone that I ever saw, and he has been broadcasting back from the strange frontier of hack life ever since. He's good driver, but more than that, he's as skilled a navigator of the forgotten American city as you'll find, and his writing is funny, grim, humane, and welcome." (John Hodgman, author of More Information than You Require)"
