This is the second volume in a new series of collaborations between artist Maira Kalman, writer Daniel Handler (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket), and The Museum of Modern Art, New York. This time a whimsical collection of images captures people in motion--or not. In snapshots by some of the world's most celebrated photographers, some people stride forth, dash across streets, race on bicycles, and jump over puddles, while others form snaking lines, daydream on park benches, and linger on sidewalks with friends.

After reading this 'book' of 55 pages, I'm left with one thought, 'Is that all there is?' This is the follow-up to their phenomenally popular GIRLS STANDING ON LAWNS.
This book was a collaboration between Maria Kalman and Daniel Handler -- plus the Museum of Modern Art. Bear in mind that I'm not a card-carrying member of the New York Museum of Modern Art. Perhaps I'm too uncouth to understand the deeper meaning of this book. Several interesting paintings and some vintage photographs were juxtaposed with prose that seemed to be written for a young reader. Perhaps the cadence of the language was the important thing; I couldn't tell.
After a few minutes, I was angry to realize that trees had to give their lives for this 'book.' If you understood the deeper meaning, congratulations.
Here's a random page's excerpt: "Somewhere in the world, always, somebody is twenty minutes late for something, and I am annoyed at them." This enriching insight was offered at the bottom of a black-and-white photo of a young woman (frowning at the camera). Who cares?
I know that each reader will come away from this book with a different perspective. I thought it was a waste of time.
