David Byrne: A Book Utopia

David Byrne has turned his American Utopia album into a tour, a successful Broadway show and a film. Now he’s making it into a book.

American Utopia will be published on September 8th. Byrne collaborated with author and illustrator Maira Kalman, who created the images on the stage curtain used before the Broadway show started each night.

Byrne says, “Here is the hope and joy that I believe emanates from this show turned into something you can hold in your hand.” American Utopia is scheduled to return to Broadway in September, with a film version from Spike Lee out in the fall as well.
