Don't Take Me The Long Way

30 true, truly outrageous cab stories by MC Mars, a San Francisco cab driver and award-winning multimedia artist. Here we meet the denizens of night: a guy who just had sex with his best friend's mom, a fertilizer salesman looking for the ugliest hooker in town, a septuagenarian with a prosthetic penis howling in pain because he can't get it down. But there's more to this world than misfits and oddballs. This is the personal face of San Francisco, from the heyday of sexual freedom to the darkest days of the AIDS epidemic, from the dot-com boom to the post-9/11 world. "Hilarious and deeply moving." -POZ Magazine. "Two thumbs up and a middle finger!" -Addison & Steele.
