Set mostly in Arizona and L.A. Drive is about a man who does stunt driving for movies by day
and drives for criminals at night. Sallis combines murder treachery and payback in a sinister
plot with resonances of 1940s pulp fiction and film noir. Told through a cinematic narrative
that weaves back and forth through time and place the story explores Driver's near existential
moral foundations intercut with moments of bloody violence.
