American Utopia

Are you going to make me tell you my thoughts about this book? I love Maira Kalman. I really do. And I like quirky. This book has Maira Kalman as illustrator and it's definitely quirky. But it's bad quirky. Like phoned in. No plot. No story. I'm honestly not even sure what it's about, if it is even about anything.

I'm terribly, horribly sad to say that I did not like this book.

But I still love you, Maira Kalman.

This is a sort of weird little coffee table type book I guess? I loved the film, and I like Maira Kolman's art but this just felt really...insubstantial. It felt like several greeting cards stapled together. And I'd probably buy the greeting cards but it didn't really feel like a book, per se.
