Happy Doll is an inexpert, private detective. He works through the night at a local Thai spa that offers its clients special services. Armed with his steel baton and biting dry humour the ex-cop sets out to protect the undocumented immigrant women who work there. But when things get out-of-hand, even he finds himself wildly out of his depth. An addictive and completely unpredictable joyride.
Driving with strangers is an ambitious, timely and intellectually eclectic contribution to how we think about mobility, the rationale behind its different forms and why our philosophy of travel and societal structures are closely related. The book uses a century of hitchhiking across contrasting national contexts to understand the relationship between sharing the road, political economy and social structure.
