Sobre este áudio

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Autostraddle, Shondaland, Booklist • In this electrifyingly fierce and funny social satire—inspired by the iconic 1970s film Taxi Driver—a ride share driver is barely holding it together on the hunt for love, dignity, and financial security...until she decides she's done waiting.

“What you are about to read is a call to arms. Best to prepare for a confrontation."—New York Times Book Review

"A perfect gut punch of a novel…Full of love and real friendship and frustrations boiled over and the urge to burn everything down…This is a hard-hitting masterpiece."—Kristen Arnett, author of With Teeth and Mostly Dead Things

Damani is tired. Her father just died on the job at a fast-food joint, and now she lives paycheck to paycheck in a basement, caring for her mom and driving for an app that is constantly cutting her take. The city is roiling in protests—everybody's in solidarity with somebody—but while she keeps hearing that they’re fighting for change on behalf of people like her, she literally can’t afford to pay attention.

Then she gives a ride to Jolene (five stars, obviously). Jolene seems like she could be the perfect girlfriend—attentive, attractive, an ally—and their chemistry is off the charts. Jolene’s done the reading, she goes to every protest, and she says all the right things. So maybe Damani can look past the one thing that's holding her back: she’s never dated anyone with money before, not to mention a white girl with money. But just as their romance intensifies and Damani finally lets her guard down, Jolene does something unforgivable, setting off an explosive chain of events.

A wild, one-sitting listen brimming with dark comedy, and piercing social commentary and announcing Priya Guns's feverishly original voice, Your Driver Is Waiting is a crackling send-up of our culture of modern alienation.

Resumo da Crítica

Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by BuzzFeed, Vogue, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Nylon, Autostraddle, Bustle, LitHub, The Millions, Good Housekeeping, & more

"Your Driver Is Waiting is an ambitious project, taking on performative allyship, racial discrimination and the class system all at once...The novel's greatest strength [is] a ferocity of voice that belongs to Guns alone...What you are about to read is a call to arms. Best to prepare for a confrontation."—Camille Perri, New York Times Book Review

"Priya Guns turns Martin Scorsese’s 'Taxi Driver' upside down and inside out. Readers are advised to buckle their seat belts before opening these pages...Priya Guns deserves a big tip for taking us on such an enthralling ride."—Washington Post

"Travis Bickle, meet Toni Morrison, in a socially probing, fiercely fun debut novel...From the book’s opening pages, our protagonist’s life of not-so-quiet desperation is driven home by her creator’s powerful prose...It’s rare for a writer to marry such deep social consciousness with a comic, sultry romance, rarer still to pull that off in a way that satisfies and provokes the reader."—Los Angeles Times
