...HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE turns out to be a most compelling ride.NY Times
Ms Vogel has written a lovely, harrowing guide to the crippling persistence of one woman's memories.Variety
With subtle humor and teasing erotic encounters, Vogel addresses the dangerous intersections of teenage temptation. She also paints a richly poetic and picturesque landscape...The play is a potent and convincing comment on a taboo subject, and its impact sneaks up on its audience.Village Voice
...HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE is a tremendous achievement, genuine and genuinely disturbing...This is, quite simply, the sweetest and most forgiving play ever written about child abuse...Vogel's delicate tactic makes sense not only as a way to redouble the dramatic effect, but as a representation of reality, a perfect case of the form fitting the subject.Book Details
