2nd Edition! Featuring 8% More Sin

Byrne, known as the lead singer of the Talking Heads, and later as a solo artist, author, photographer, and film director, has written a book that updates and alters the Bible's cardinal sins for a more contemporary audience. His book began as a project undertaken for the Valencia Spain Bienal, which asked artists to address the idea of sin.

Byrne wanted the book to be about the size and shape of a portable Bible, and thus The New Sins resembles the sort of book a strange person in a robe would try to give you in an airport. The New Sins is bizarre and profound, and includes eighty color photographs taken by the author.

Bound in red pleather; text appears first in English then, by flipping the book over, in Spanish.
