Taxi Driver (KŪNAI 4)

Book 4 of Strangers Press' chapbook series, KŪNAI.

“Rasma hated her dreams; they made her sick — she rested best when she fell into complete silence and darkness."

Rasma is a taxi driver with a mysterious past, a mysterious present, an uncertain future, and a complex relationship with a 'double'. We follow her through a series of encounters personal and professional - some troubling, some comic, some profound - as she struggles with her sense of identity and belonging while trying to make ends meet.

KŪNAI, meaning 'bodies', is our first 'mini series' of five chapbooks showcasing in this case writing never-before-seen in English from a diverse selection of the finest contemporary writers and translators working in Lithuanian today.

True to the series title, these stories display a wide panorama of 'bodies'; political, social, physical; they deal with corporeality, like collages made of details, symbols and impressions. Above all, though, they're great short reads; like little shots of espresso for the mind - each their own experience, in series, but all building together into one beautifully designed set that's sure to give you that Strangers Press literary buzz...
