Read The Other Side of Midnight Storyline:
The Other Side of Midnight: Taxi Cab Stories is not a traditional history of taxi cabs in St. John’s. It describes the commonly shared experiences of an underwritten portion of Newfoundland’s working class while presenting St. John’s from the front seat of a taxi cab. It will explore the working lives of its subjects, as well as their thoughts and feelings about their choice of career and their clients. Every segment of our society utilizes their services, from the social elite to the social obsolete: businessmen, drug pushers, prostitutes and forlorn lovers. Comical, absurd and often dramatic, many of their reminiscences will be of long hours and years on the job, their hopes and decayed dreams.Mike Heffernan was born and raised in St. John’s, Newfoundland. The Other Side of Midnight won the D250 Award for Historical Writing and is the follow-up to the national bestseller Rig: An Oral History of the Ocean Ranger Disaster.
