Maximum Taxi

Maximum Taxi is a captivating, funny, and irreverent tale told by a narrator who exists on the cusp of one world and another. Doug, a down-on-his-luck but resilient cab driver in a rapidly modernizing Southern city, uses his relative anonymity to document his experiences almost as if from behind a camera, seeing everything but rarely being seen. Fans of Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and Nelson Algren will find a lot to love in Bales’s work.
