"This beautifully woven series of vignettes from the brilliant Aimee De Jongh are a necessary and poignant reminder of our common humanity." --Joe Sacco

"One of the great young cartoonists in the world." --Comic Book Resources

Aim e de Jongh, one of the brightest new talents in Europe, creates her first autobiographic work, focusing on taxi rides from four cities: Los Angeles, Paris, Jakarta, and Washington, DC.

Despite the stunning and detailed streetscapes she passes, de Jongh discovers she's more interested in the cab drivers than the view from the backseat. As the drivers slowly open up about their personal lives, de Jongh does too--even when it means challenging her own ideas and prejudices. Through these vulnerable--and often humorous--moments, de Jongh finds common ground with the people driving her. Taxi is an ode to taxi drivers everywhere.

Aim e de Jongh is a Dutch graphic novel author, animator, and illustrator. After creating comics for a daily newspaper for nearly five years, she left in 2017 to make graphic novels full time.
