NY Times Book Review: Bayard

Pierre Bayard

We’ve got another illustration in the New York Times Book Review this week, this time accompanying a review of Pierre Bayard’s book How to Talk about Books You Haven’t Read. Bayard’s book proposes that it’s not so much total knowledge of individual books that matters, but a broader knowledge of how those books fit together into a network. Our illustration plays on this idea of the aggregate revealing something that its individual components do not—in this case, more questions. Read Jay McInerney’s entire review here.
