If you get the Los Angeles Times, then this morning you most likely read the book review and perhaps noticed the review of Maira Kalman’s new book, The Principles of Uncertainty. I love Maira Kalman–her voice, her art. I discovered her way before Travis was born when I worked at Rizzoli bookstore at South Coast Plaza and saw Max Makes a Million about a dog who longs to be a poet and ends up getting a million dollar contract. (Uh-huh, right, you say.) The artwork was fabulous–Matisse/Chagall like–and the voice of the writing was singular.
Voice…it’s what impresses me, in the end, more than plotting, I must say (but this could be because plotting is not a virtue of mine).
So, for your Sunday entertainment, here’s a little video from Kalman’s site. It’s so Kalman.
