Where To?: A Hack Memoir is Dmitry Samarov's follow-up to his 2011 book Hack. As with the first book, Where To? is filled with stories and artwork inspired from Samarov's years behind the wheel of a taxi. Samarov and publisher Curbside Splendor are beginning the process of promoting the book, which includes a release party 6 p.m., Sept. 14 at Rainbo Club (1150 N. Damen Ave.) featuring Shay DeGrandis, Bill Hillmann, Martha Bayne, Naomi Huffman, Erika Wurth and Irvine Welsh reading from the book.

Samarov is also receiving a promotional boost for the book with a series of short clips directed by John McNaughton (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Mad Dog and Glory) featuring Samarov reading his stories and creating the artwork for them.

The newest clip, "Cab Repair," is below.
