Book description
Driving a cab for more than 30 years Gene Salomon has collected a
remarkable selection of stories. He shares the very best in this
unforgettable memoir.
Eugene has had everyone in the back of his cab: Lauren Bacall, Leonardo
di Caprio, John McEnroe, Sean Penn and Dennis Hopper, Simon and
Garfunkel, Robin Williams, Norman Mailer, Diane Keaton and, yes, even
Kevin Bacon.
He's taken all sorts of people for a ride: Mafiosi, hookers, the rich
and famous, down and outs, young lovers, tourists from every corner of
the globe, lifetime New Yorkers, passengers in a rush, and others with
no particular place to go.
So sit back and enjoy the ride, but remember . . . the meter's running.
'Bursting with anecdotes from a 36-year career that spans hitmen and
heart attacks, via Paul Simon, Norman Mailer, a llama and a coyote.'
INDEPENDENT Eugene Salomon has been driving a taxi in New York since
1977. This is his first book.
