There is an item about The Brick
Testament: Stories from the Book of Genesis in this week’s (3 October 2003)
issue of Entertainment Weekly. It’s on page 78, in the book reviews section.
Here’s a scan of it:
Also, there is an item about the book in the October/November issue of Budget
Living. I haven’t found a copy of it yet, but Kristine Birnbaum was kind
enough to e-mail me the text of the item:
SPEAKING VOLUMES
Get Between the Covers This Fall
Hot new reads--from leggy dames to LEGOs.
From the profane to the sacred, sort of: Two years ago, Bay Area artist “The
Reverend” Brendan Powell Smith began rendering Bible scenes entirely out of
LEGOs and posting them on www.bricktestament.com. The kooky works were such a
cult hit that they’ve been compiled in The Brick Testament: Stories From the
Book of Genesis (Quirk, $15). In it, Smith revisits all the Sunday-school
highlights - the Garden of Eden, below, Babel, the Flood - and offers a
priceless take on Lot’s salt pillar wife.
