Items related to Drive
Set mostly in Arizona and L.A., Drive is about a man who does stunt driving for movies by day and drives for criminals at night. Sallis combines murder, treachery and payback in a sinister plot with resonances of 1940s pulp fiction and film noir. Told through a cinematic narrative that weaves back and forth through time and place, the story explores Driver's near existential moral foundations, intercut with moments of bloody violence.

Review:
James Sallis has written a perfect piece of noir fiction -- Marilyn Stasio, New York Times, 25th September 2005
Sallis's treatment is minimalist, stylish, and all the more evocative for it. Essential noir existentialism. -- Maxim Jakubowski, The Guardian, June 17th 2006
[Sallis’s] taut, pared down prose is distinctive and powerful. The result is a small masterpiece. -- Susannah Yager, The Telegraph, June 18th 2006
