From the Back Cover
"A seriously talented writer, Roberge is an explorer of the everyday. Chicken franchises. Florida. The micro-politics of sex. That's where this book lives. So do I. So do you. My advice--spend the money, buy the book, take the ride." --Francois Camoin, Winner of the Flannery O'Connor Award
"I picked up Drive and I didn't put it down. The people in this book are sharp and damaged and they won't let you go even when you've finished reading." --Katie Arnoldi, author of Chemical Pin
"What we need are more stories that back us into corners. We need books that show teeth, and Roberge has given us one in Drive." --Darrell Spencer, Winner of the Drue Heinz Award
"Drive lets you know that the world isn't always as simple as winning and losing, it's sometimes just enough to survive. Drive cements Rob Roberge's place as the voice of the underbelly." --Tod Goldberg, author of Living Dead Girl and Fake Liar Cheat
