About Learning to Drive
At the advanced age of thirty-seven, Julian Orr - a journalist at a New York fashion and gossip magazine and resident expert on twentieth-century urban living - learns to drive. His object is a driver's license that will allow him to visit his parents' graves in the small Connecticut town where he underwent a puzzling but tender childhood. But what begins as an innocent act of personal liberation, with the help of Hector, the driving-instructor-from-hell, suddenly escalates crazily, terrifyingly out of control. Poignant and startlingly funny, Learning to Drive is not to be missed. The e-book edition published in 2019 includes a new preface by the author.
Genre: General Fiction
