Books like the last taxi ride driver#
Lee Durkee is the author of the novels The Last Taxi Driver and Rides of the Midway. Equal parts Bukowski and Portis, Durkee’s darkly comic novel is a feverish, hilarious, and gritty look at a forgotten America and a man at life’s crossroads. Shedding nuts and bolts, The Last Taxi Driver careens through highways and back roads, from Mississippi to Memphis, as Lou becomes increasingly somnambulant and his fares increasingly eccentric. Lou is forced to decide how much he can take as a driver, and whether keeping his job is worth madness and heartbreak. With Uber moving into town and his way of life vanishing, his girlfriend moving out, and his archenemy dispatcher suddenly returning to town on the lam, Lou must finish his bedlam shift by aiding and abetting the host of criminal misfits haunting the back seat of his disintegrating Town Car. Meet Lou-a lapsed novelist, struggling Buddhist, and UFO fan-who drives for a ramshackle taxi company that operates on the outskirts of a north Mississippi college town. Hailed by George Saunders as “a true original-a wise and wildly talented writer,” Lee Durkee takes readers on a high-stakes cab ride through an unforgettable shift.
