King Lear of the Taxi: Musings of a New York City Actor/Taxi Driver

King Lear of the Taxi is a philosophical journey through poetry and prose of a struggling actor who must earn a grueling living as a taxi driver—while striving to attain artistic success. Davidson Garrett’s self-portrait is a glimpse at an ever-changing New York City—where the inflation rate multiplies by the week—and aspiring artists are threatened by an urban society that values real estate over the long-term health of the arts.
