Our friend Whet Moser (@whet) just posted a great Chicago Magazine blog piece on Dmitry Samarov (@samarov), his art, and his new U Chicago Press book, Hack: Stories from a Chicago Cab. Saying that Dmitry is the best cabbie artist, or cabbie author, or author artist, is like saying Tara Key is the best female guitar player. It diminishes both sides of the equation. Dmitry is an excellent writer, artist, and cab driver.
