Driver Driver

by Valerie Ng

Saturday night. Oscar receives a call from a cryptic number. His arm is broken and his relationship is falling apart, but when his friend John fails to show up to his own film premiere, something in Oscar’s world shifts.

Roaming through a frigid Melbourne winter in search of his vanished friend, Oscar pushes back against the fog his life has fallen into. Where is John? How does one search without clues? And what is it all really for?

Driver Driver is the dreamy literary debut from Valerie Ng, which will keep you guessing what’s real, what’s not, and just how well we think we know each other.

‘I was looking at everything and everyone, playing the role of a third-party observer, a cameraman or a dreamer, watching real people with real lives and wondering how it was possible for all of these lives to coexist.’
