Taxi brings together 58 fictional dialogues with Cairo cabbies recreated from the author’s own experience of traversing the city. It takes the readers on a roller-coaster of emotions as bumpy and noisy as the city’s potholed and chaotic streets.

Described as an urban sociology, an ethnography, a classic of oral history and a work of poetry in motion. Taxi tells Herculean tales of the struggle for survival and dignity among Cairo’s 80,000 cab drivers. It is a wing-mirror that reflects both on modern Egypt and on the human condition, plucking from the rush-hour sandstorm a feast of memories, lies, loves hates and dreams.

Taxi was an instant bestseller in Arabic markets and has been credited with reviving an interest in reading in Egypt. This unique work explores the poignant self-reflections of members of a caste who have little in common apart from their trade.

If there s one truly authentic Malaysian voice expounding on all that he loves and hates in this multicultural, maddening country, it s Patrick Teoh. With his trademark razor-sharp wit, Teoh, in his aptly-named Teohlogy articles (previously published in the now defunct Off The Edge magazine from the years 2005 to 2010), shares his views on Malaysian life, topical affairs and issues that concern the ordinary Malaysian, with a generous sprinkling of realism, humour and provocation. Some call him a cynic (or an old grump, or a ... never mind, it s a long list!) but Teohlogy is all about telling it as it is, warts and all. Be it the farcical antics of politicians or the perils of public transport, Teoh s candid, no-holds-barred perspectives will not only have readers chuckling in recognition but also realising the obstacles of a young nation like Malaysia. From his hilarious catch phrases dunked in Malaysian sirap bandung to his digs at the powers-that-be and Malaysians themselves, Teohlogy presents a Malaysia with all its flaws but hopes that we will not give up trying to understand the idiosyncrasies of this beguiling country. Can-ah?

Kassim Ahmad di antara susuk paling menarik dalam jagat politik, pemikiran dan sastera negara. Beliau telah beberapa kali membuat gempar, misalnya pada tahun 1950an apabila mengemukakan Hang Jebat sebagai pahlawan melayu dan bukannya Hang Tuah; pada tahun 1980an dengan mengkritik penggunaan Hadis sebagai sumber kedua perundangan Islam; dan di tahun 1980an apabila terlibat dengan Shahnon Ahmad dalam polemic Sastera Islam – salah satu di antara segelintir polemic hangat yang pernah muncul di Malaysia. Penglibatan Kassim Ahmad dalam politik telah membawanya ke puncak kepimpinan Parti Sosialis Rakyat Malaysia (Ketua I PSRM) dan ia juga telah menelantarkannya dalam penjara, di bawah akta ISA, selama hampir lima tahun (1976-1981). Sebaik dibebaskan, Pak Kassim menerbitkan catatan pengalaman beliau sejurus sebelum di tangkap dan sepanjang ditahan di bawah akta berkenaan.
