"This is a great book. It captures the heart and soul of this crazy little city. . . Be polite and pick up this book." "A rich collection of anecdotes and observations on city life, the overlooked segments of society, the scope of personal and not-so-personal relationships, and the culture of cabbies." "Wonderfully written, this book captures the essence of human behavior, as seen from the unique perspective of the cab driver." "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." "With an ethnographer's eye for fine details and a writer's ear for telling words, Robert Leonard's portraits of Albuquerque's cab drivers 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, "Yellow Cab" invites you to think--and then think again--about things you never knew."
In 2001, anthropology professor Robert Leonard began moonlighting as a cabdriver; 'Yellow Cab' 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. In this mixed bag of rich vignettes and interludes of poetry, Leonard offers sharp insights into the workings of the hidden world of an American city after dark.
