鈥淚n these flattened times, Writing the Future conveys motion. The book, a companion to a suspended exhibition at Boston鈥檚 Museum of Fine Arts, is about Basquiat, his contemporaries, and early hip-hop culture, but it鈥檚 also about the movements and rhythms of New York City鈥'the work of the subway writers became as optically and optimally omnipresent as the Manhattan skyline,' Greg Tate writes. And in its dynamic blend of art, history, and analysis, it has a movement of its own.鈥
鈥擠an Adler, Vanity Fair

About Writing the Future: 鈥淭o leaf through this prodigy鈥檚 oeuvre intermingled with photos of what he called 'just 鈥 you know, my friends and stuff'; of their tags brightening storefronts and subway cars, of the boomboxes and leather jackets and reference books they at once desecrated and elevated, is to hold in your hands the record of a place and a time and a togetherness we can only hope one day to experience again.鈥
