"Arboretum" - David Byrne
Publisher: McSweeney's Books
Publication Date: 2006
Hardcover
Pages: 300
This book includes a series of sketches that are akin to a kind of poetry. Although, its subject matter is far more psychological, philosophical, and investigative. On pages such as "Space-Time Reflexivity", - There is written out just words and or phrases such as, "Superheros', 'Celebrities', 'Archetypes', 'Thoughts', and 'Value Concepts," all these on a set of sketches of roots, trees, and various plant concepts. It feels like a series of essays and is rooted in a kind of spiritual investigation into the modern world.
"An eclectic blend of - automatic writing self-analysis, and satire."
