Day after day, night after night, you drive without ever really arriving: In Germany, there are over 250,000 taxi drivers, and each has their own story. For many years, Jochen Rausch collected conversations in taxis: From 120 miniatures of remarkable intensity, a psychogram of our multinational society emerges from a very special perspective. Sometimes contemplative, sometimes cheerful, but always authentic, unfiltered, and moving. With his highly praised short story collections "Trieb" and "Rache," Rausch has already shown that he knows how to tell great stories in a confined space. An immensely entertaining read, filled with wit and anger, spirit and madness, from which you learn a lot about the country we live in.
