The Mental Taxi Driver

By Celso Oliveira

Some people get into taxis to get somewhere.
Others get in to postpone a decision. Some get in simply to avoid being alone.
The Mental Taxi Driver is a work of fiction composed of short stories centered on silent encounters between a taxi driver and his passengers. Each trip reveals a request-not always spoken-and a boundary that needs to be respected.
Throughout these pages, characters emerge who ask for direction, control, relief, permanence, or absence. And a taxi driver who gradually learns that accompanying is not the same as driving, that listening is not the same as solving problems, and that not all requests should be granted.
With restrained, refined, and profoundly human writing, The Mental Taxi Driver explores themes such as choice, silence, responsibility, and limits-without explanations, without moralizing, without easy answers.
This is a book for readers who appreciate short yet intense literature, stories that linger long after the last page, and narratives where the essential events unfold in between.
