Maira Kalman travels country to fall back in love with America

The World

All week long we have been talking about the idea of “home,” and the physical attributes and emotional attachments we have to our homes.

We end our series by talking with artist and writer Maira Kalman. She is the author of ?And the Pursuit of Happiness,? a compilation of her year-long journey for our partner, The New York Times, to explore her adopted home, America. Kalman was not born in the United States, but she traveled the country to fall back in love.
