Ep. 94 Call Me A Cab

Hosts Christopher Funderburg & John Cribbs discuss the new,
posthumously-published novel from the great crime novelist, Donald
Westlake - author of the Parker & Dortmunder books. Westlake is
a Pink Smoke favorite and the podcast has previously covered
Forever and a Death (a script for a James Bond movie converted into
a novel) and Double Feature (a pair of novellas about violence in
Hollywood.) The story of a woman putting off responding to a
marriage proposal by contracting a New York cabby to drive her to
Los Angeles rather than flying there, Call Me a Cab is a bit of a
change-up for Westlake. Instead of a dark thriller like The Hunter
and The Ax or a clever, genial crime story like The Hot Rock, this
latest novel is a low-key romance built around a meandering
road-trip. It’s a unique story and approach by an author from who
you would least expect it. Support our Patreon:
