Yellow Cab
Autor Robert Leonarden Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2006
With an ethnographer's eye for fine details and a writer's ear for words, Robert Leonard's portraits of Albuquerque's cabdrivers and their passengers ring every bit as true as the writings of Joseph Mitchell and Joseph Liebling about varieties of life in New York City. Thoughtful, compelling, and irresistibly authentic.--Keith H. Basso, Regents Professor of Anthropology, University of New Mexico
Highly entertaining . . . Hop aboard a bright yellow Crown Vic and buckle up for a nighttime journey seen through the eyes of a cabbie. You will be the 'fly on the window' as you witness the comical, bizarre, touching, and sometimes painful antics of human nature.--Mike Trujillo, Yellow Cab driver

Descriere
In 2001, anthropology professor Robert Leonard began moonlighting as a cabdriver. This is a portrait of the city he found as he drove the streets of night time Albuquerque, picking up everyone from business people and drunken college kids to hookers and drug dealers. It is a mixed bag of vignettes and interludes of poetry.
