A review by futurama1979
American Utopia by Maira Kalman, David Byrne

5.0

There's not anything to dislike about this book. The drawings are simplistic but beautiful and compliment the words well. The words are also simple and could stray into being too intentionally poetic except we know it's David Byrne, and he says and writes everything with this truthful genuineness. The words, when taken at that genuine face value, are beautiful too.

I read this while listening to the soundtrack from the Broadway show and it definitely added something special to the reading experience.
