Bicycle Diaries Zusammenfassung

Bicycle Diaries David Byrne

...an engaging book: part diary, part manifesto. The Guardian

A round-the-world bicycle tour with one of the most original artists of our day.

Urban bicycling has become more popular than ever as recession-strapped, climate-conscious city dwellers reinvent basic transportation. In this wide-ranging memoir, artist/musician and co-founder of Talking Heads David Byrne--who has relied on a bike to get around New York City since the early 1980s--relates his adventures as he pedals through and engages with some of the world's major cities. From Buenos Aires to Berlin, he meets a range of people both famous and ordinary, shares his thoughts on art, fashion, music, globalization, and the ways that many places are becoming more bike-friendly. Bicycle Diaries is an adventure on two wheels conveyed with humor, curiosity, and humanity.

Bicycle Diaries Bewertungen

...an engaging book: part diary, part manifesto. The Guardian

Entertaining . . . newcomers will enjoy these off-the-cuff sketches from an unpretentious cultural polymath; acolytes will cherish a closer look at Byrne's weird, wonderful brain chemistry.
--Time Out New York

Whether you are a cyclist or not, Byrne's insights into everything from outside art to aboriginal folklore are wry, witty, and more often than not, wise as well.
--The Philadelphia Inquirer

Reading Bicycle Diaries makes cosmic indifference a lot easier to deal with.
--The Seattle Times

Mr. Byrne's music has every year grown more receptive to other cultures, and his diaries reflect the same ecumenicism. -- The New York Times
