Book Description

ISBN-10: 097033558X | ISBN-13: 978-0970335586 | Publication Date: August 1, 2001

The New Sins is the longest work of prose David Byrne has ever published. It is singularly Byrnian: simultaneously profound, bizarre, hilarious, beautiful and deadly serious. In addition to his elucidation of the qualities that are considered sins in contemporary life, the book contains approximately eighty color photographs taken by the author

4.0 out of 5 stars A Multitalented Byrne, August 23, 2001

Owen Renn (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Sins / Los Nuevos Pecados (English and Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

David Byrne stopped earlier this week in Oxford to do a small private bookreading for people who purchased his book. It might seem wierd that Byrne stopped to a small Mississippi college town, in the midst of his current musical tour, but the William Faulker (former Oxford resident) influence in this book, he claims, brought him here. This book is a very tongue-in-cheek attempt to show the "new sins" of our time. This book has to be read to be understood, and even then it can be hard to grasp. If you are a fan of the avant-garde, and David Byrne as a lyrical and prose composer you will be pleased. The book also features a nice collection of photographs by Byrne.
