Description: Taxi consists of fifty-eight fictional monologues with Cairo taxi drivers that have been recreated from the author's own experience Set in the author's home country of Egypt, taking the reader on a roller-coaster of emotions as bumpy and noisy as the city's potholed and chaotic streets. Described as an urban sociology, an ethnography, a classic of oral history - and a work of poetry in motion - it tells Herculean tales of the struggle for survival and dignity among Greater Cairo's 80,000 cab drivers.
