Reviews

Esquire An oddball and charming little biography of a very devious pattern.

The New York Times Book Review Imaginative...this playful but learned book will doubtless have an influence.

The New York Times Reading about the epic implications of stripes...you feel like a child gleefully taking apart a toy, examining its small components one by one, then putting it back together.
