Former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne is collaborating on a book with author/illustrator Maira Kalman.
Songs that make up former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne's live show and album American Utopia centre on the furniture of adult life – a job, a girlfriend, a house, a car – while standing slightly apart from it, writes Guardian reviewer Alexis Soloski.
Byrne is now collaborating on a
book with author/ illustrator Maira Kalman who worked on the Broadway show to create American Utopia.
“Here is the hope and joy that I believe emanates from this show turned into something you can hold in your hand,” said Byrne recently.
The book will be published on September 8 by Bloomsbury.
Spike Lee has recovered enough from The Gisborne Herald's announcement of his death two years ago to direct a film version of Byrne's Broadway show. The film is due out later this year and will be screened when films are screened again.
