Much later, as he sat with his back against an inside wall of a Motel 6 just north of Phoenix, watching the pool of blood lap toward him, Driver would wonder whether he had made a terrible mistake. Later still, of course, there'd be no doubt. But for now Driver is, as they say, in the moment. And the moment includes this blood lapping toward him, the pressure of dawn's late light at windows and door, traffic sounds from the interstate nearby, the sound of someone weeping in the next room....' Thus begins Drive, a new novella by James Sallis. Set mostly in Arizona and L.A., the story is, according to Sallis, ..".about a guy who does stunt driving for movies by day and drives for criminals at night. In classic noir fashion, he is double-crossed and, though before he has never participated in the violence ('I drive. That's all.'), he goes after the ones who doublecrossed and tried to kill him."

I drive

Um dos raros casos onde o filme é muito melhor que o livro. Esperava mais, o estilo da escrita não me agradou, e as personagens não tem personalidade, sinto que perdi tempo aqui, o que é triste, pois tento pensar positivo quando se trata de livros. Mas para alguns pode ser uma jóia cult, vai dá opinião de cada um.
