Description
Travis Bickle's life is one of isolation and disillusionment. He takes up driving a taxi in search of escape from his sleeplessness and the corruption that surrounds him. As he navigates the city, his pent-up rage fuels an inevitable descent into psychosis and violence. This book offers a unique insight into the mind of its protagonist, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process between Paul Schrader and Martin Scorsese. Their conversation provides a fascinating glimpse into their collaborative relationship, which spans several films. With just 91 pages, this paperback edition is a concise and thought-provoking read that explores themes of loneliness, anger, and the darker aspects of human nature.
