PAPERBACK AND E-BOOK AVAILABLE THE SAME DAY

David Byrne's bestselling Viking Press hardcover, Bicycle Diaries, will be released as an enhanced audiobook September 28 with pre-orders beginning today.

Offered exclusively at www.bicycle-diaries.com, this new edition is narrated by Byrne and features music (by Byrne) and location sounds to create an atmosphere more akin to a radio show than a simple reading of the book. Presented in podcast-style downloads, the listener will have a choice to purchase individual chapters or the complete book. The introductory chapter will be free. In addition to the audio version, the paperback and E-book editions will also be released the same day. The E-book version will include color images not included in the hardcover.

Part travelogue, part journal and part photo album, Bicycle Diaries chronicles what Byrne sees and whom he meets as he pedals through metropolises ranging from Berlin to Buenos Aires, Istanbul to San Francisco, Manila to New York. The collection includes records Byrne's thoughts on world music, urban planning, fashion, architecture, cultural dislocation and more.
