In 2022, White published his debut novel Incidental Contact, part memoir, part urban fable. Chronicling a 10-year stretch spent working as a cab driver in New York City, White encounters a dizzying array of characters, including drug lords, con men, doomed lovers, psychics, and psychos, and ultimately a string of cultural luminaries.
His first full-length novel, Incidental Contact is a love letter to the fans of White’s oeuvre — the outsiders, the lost souls, anyone who, as White points out in his iconic song Static on the Radio, “thinks less of what is written than what’s wrote between the lines”.
