In 2001, anthropology professor Robert Leonard began moonlighting as a cabdriver; Yellow Cab is a portrait of the city he found as he drove the streets of nighttime Albuquerque, picking up everyone from business people and drunken college kids to hookers and drug dealers. In this mixed bag of rich vignettes and interludes of poetry, Leonard offers sharp insights into the workings of the hidden world of an American city after dark. "With an ethnographer's eye for fine details and a writer's ear for words, Robert Leonard's portraits of Albuquerque's cabdrivers and their passengers ring every bit as true as the writings of Joseph Mitchell and Joseph Liebling about varieties of life in New York City. Thoughtful, compelling, and irresistibly authentic."--Keith H. Basso, Regents Professor of Anthropology, University of New Mexico "Highly entertaining! . . . Hop aboard a bright yellow Crown Vic and buckle up for a nighttime journey seen through the eyes of a cabbie. You will be the 'fly on the window' as you witness the comical, bizarre, touching, and sometimes painful antics of human nature."--Mike Trujillo, Yellow Cab driver

After twenty years working on film and series shoots, Benoît Cohen is drained. His enthusiasm gone, a desire to stop writing and put down the camera takes over. In the city for a year, he still wonders about how best to absorb the rich diversity of the cosmopolitan metropolis, settling on a simple idea: he will become a taxi driver. Behind the iconic Yellow Cab, behind the fantasy of freedom and independence, behind the faces of his thousands of passengers, Benoît discovers a world to which he is a stranger. He dives into his new life with the idea of turning it into a screenplay for a future film, but the material he collects from this social experiment marks him deeply, leading down unsuspected paths: First, the administrative maze that leads to the taxi driver’s license. Then the world behind the scenes. And finally, the prejudices that surround the profession and lead customers, cops, and the entire city to look at it—quite randomly—either with indifference, kindness, or aggression. The project transforms into an autobiographical novel interspersed with reflections on the creative process, and with the help of Chabouté, it is now a sensitive, deeply human graphic novel with breathtaking illustrations that pay vibrant tribute to New York City.

New York, juin 2015. Benoit Cohen décide, pour les besoins de l'écriture d'un scénario, de devenir chauffeur de taxi à l'instar de son héroïne. C'est ainsi qu'il va sillonner pendant plusieurs mois Manhattan, Brooklyn ou encore le Bronx au volant d'un taxi qu'il loue chaque matin et à bord duquel il espère trouver l'inspiration et apprivoiser sa capitale d'adoption, insolite et frénétique. Avant ça, il devra passer sa licence dans une école du fin fond du Queens, Français parmi les migrants de tous pays à la recherche d'un "rêve américain" encore possible. Traversé de références cinématographiques et émaillé de souvenirs personnels, Yellow Cab, c'est Big Apple vu à travers le pare-brise d'un taxi driver, les New-Yorkais observés depuis le siège avant : un surprenant récit de voyage autour de quelques blocks, mais qui en dit long sur l'Amérique. On monte avec bonheur aux côtés de ce Frenchie dont les talents d'observateur, déjà révélés dans ses films, jaillissent ici avec truculence.

Jack, the little yellow taxi, used to be the fastest, brightest taxi around and traveled the city as if he had wings. If only he could fly. But something magical happens when Jack sees a bus that says, “Come to Brazil.” Before Jack knows it, he’s flying over the Brazilian rainforest and his new customers are macaws and howler monkeys! Jack couldn’t be happier, playing pass-the-coconut. But their fun comes to a halt when big bulldozers and cranky cranes start chopping down the rainforest. Why don’t you come back to the city and leave the forest alone? With a blink of an eye, Jack is back in the city. Could those be the same bulldozers he saw in the rainforest? Jack isn’t sure until he spies a coconut on the park bench and smiles to himself…anything is still possible.

I might say, riding in a taxi around the street of New York City, I found my self fascinated by taking photographs of authentic moments, I wanted to capture the street as they are. The thought occurred to me to frame people in the window, so the viewer would get the passenger's view.They could see the city from that perspective, feel the seatbelt around their waist, experience a ride in the yellow cab.
