Nathan Vass, the Seattle-based artist and filmmaker, has been writing a popular blog (The View From Nathan's Bus) about his night job driving a city bus for nearly a decade. Placing the interactions he witnesses in the context of art history, literature, and social sciences, he focuses on the positive encounters that often go unnoticed. The sum effect is an inclusive view of humanity celebrating the resilience, sensitivity, and beauty of the human spirit in the unlikeliest of places. This book is Vass' personal curation of writing and photography from the blog.
