Following the success of Quirky Berkeley, “arbiter of the
eccentric” (The New York Times) Tom Dalzell returns to take
readers on a tour of even more artwork that peppers the proudly
idiosyncratic Northern California city. Stroll along iconic
Telegraph Avenue for views of painted-metal portrait sculptures of
figures ranging from Rasputin to Mario Savio—even Heyday's
founder, Malcolm Margolin—at the Mad Monk Center for
Anachronistic Media. Hike up Marin for views of the steel skeleton
forever riffing on a tenor saxophone. Dalzell points out murals
honoring the Sandinistas and bas-relief sculptures of legendary
Oakland Athletics on the home of a member of the Great Tortilla
Conspiracy. And just where can you find the quirkiest
garden ever? Included in every write-up are profiles of the
residents, whom Dalzell is careful to portray not as stereotypical
“Berzerkeleyites” but as individuals who have found their true
north of exuberant self-expression.
