The Notebook in the Glove Compartment

El cuaderno de la guantera

A New York taxi driver offers free rides to any tourist who can teach him a historical fact he doesn't already know. After twelve years and over four hundred facts, one rainy Thursday a passenger from Australia tells him something so absurd he can barely believe it's true.

Héctor conducía un taxi amarillo en Manhattan desde hacía doce años. Conocía cada calle, cada atajo, cada esquina donde el tráfico se detenía demasiado tiempo. Pero lo que más le gustaba de su trabajo no eran las calles: era la gente.
