Yellow Cab is an autobiography (graphic novel) of a filmmaker called Benoît Cohen who,
devoid of inspiration for his next film, decided to become a New York
City taxi driver. What follows is his insights and documentation about
the streets of New York - its people, its prejudices, and its politics.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE BOOK
The
characters in the book are interesting and mysterious. Even though some
of them appear for a brief time, there is a liveliness to them that
makes me hang on to their every word. The art has this kind of
depressing quality to it... I expect it to bum me out but I quite like
it actually as it fits the mood of the book.
DISLIKES
None.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Whether
you are familiar with the work of Benoît Cohen or not, I think this is a
non-fiction most fans of the genre will appreciate.
Many thanks to IDW Publishing for providing an advance copy.
Yellow Cab by Benoît Cohen & Christophe Chabouté - Book Recommendation
Going into a new career as a middle-aged person can be disorienting or
empowering, depending on your circumstances or outlook on life. One
thing that cannot be dismissed is the insight and understanding a new
career or employment gives. It has the potential to open us to a side of
life we may have overlooked or never noticed before.
