4.0 out of 5 stars Unique history captured, August 3, 2001

This review is from: Fairbanks Cabbies (Paperback)
Robinson has captured the oral history of a very unique group of people. The cab drivers in Fairbanks, Alaska have a different experience than any other group I can think of and Robinson has interviewed dozens of cabbies for their firsthand tales.

It was easy to pick out what sort of questions Robinson asked the cab drivers to reflect on--strangest fare, sexual situations, etc. and some were better expressed than others. Overall, it was an interesting read and the cabbies told tales like storytellers. For anyone who likes history on a more personal level, this is a wonderful anthology of personal narrative.
