North End LateNights

About the Book

North End LateNights is drawn from fourteen years' experience as a night-shift taxi driver in Seattle, but it's more than a simple collection of anecdotes. The author is lifetime incumbent of exclusive ivory towers turned suddenly loose in the marketplace of living, and the book reflects that dichotomy. Although it records plenty of encounters of the kind one might expect from a cabdriver's journal -- it has its weirdos, its rowdy inebriates, and even an armed robbery -- the book does not pander to a taste for rampart sensationalism. Rather, it is the record of learning experience: a spiritual quest for the immanent God, pursued while observing and dealing with the unfathomable depths and the unpredictable beauty of the human phenomenon.

This is a book to be enjoyed in thought and reflection.
