"One man. One taxi. The Sydney Olympic Games.
Buckle up for the ride of your life."
Subtitled,
You talkin' to me?
, The Diary Of An Olympic Cabbie is
Anthony Sharwood
's first published work. The book details one man's misadventures as a
taxi driver
in the 8 weeks leading up to the
Olympic Games
of 2000.
Sharwood is a
Sydney
-based writer who, through some ill-conceived notions of excitement and
financial gain
, began driving a
taxi
barely one month before the opening ceremony on
September
15.
Apart from providing a unique view of the Sydney Olympics, this diary gives an insight into the darker side of driving a cab. No, there are no De-Niro-esque scenes here. No
packing heat
while on shift. No cleaning
cum
and
blood
off the back seat. No young
nymphs
dressed in
togas
. Oh wait... actually some nymphs do make an appearance.
Eitherway,
The Diary Of An Olympic Cabbie
is an easy read, although perhaps a bit short. Great for
killing a few minutes
here and there.
