A super-delayed book review...

Bicycle Diaries
David Byrne
Barnes & Noble link (paperback coming this September!)

Talking Heads’ lead singer/guitarist David Byrne is no stranger to the publishing world. His earlier books go into conceptual art, especially in his last work Arboretum. If one would pick up his latest release Bicycle Diaries, one might get a jarring sensation. I mean, whoa, where did this come from? Where’s the art? Where’s the abstract thought? No worries, earlier Byrne readers. All that’s in there, but it is, as the Python boys famously said, “something completely different”.

(Fun fact: I finished this book in about two hours, while waiting for an event that I was doing for my internship.)
