Scope and Contents

The musician, artist, and thinker presents an enigmatic, enchanting collection of mental maps. An eclectic blend of faux science, automatic writing, self-analysis, and satire, A journey through irrational logic - the application of scientific rigor and form to basically irrational premises, proceeding from careful monsense to unexpected sense. Whateaver you imagine can come to pass. There is absolutely no reason to discount anything, anywhere. Straight from the sketchbook, smudges and all, plus a four-foot foldout guide. David Byrne explains his 85 diagramatic graphite drawings in the pamphlet that is bound into the back cover. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
