SuitabookThis bridge will not be gray
Dave Eggers, Tucker Nichols
- Reading
- Read together and pause over the proposed colours: invite your reader to compare them and explain their preference. Afterwards, look at how the book describes the architects’ part in the outcome.
- Themes
- Design choices and public preference: The bridge’s eventual bright-orange colour is contrasted with preferences for red and white, yellow and black, or grey. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Different people are said to have wanted different colours, but the nature of their disagreement and the decision-making process are not clear. Consider whether you want to explore that aspect together as you read.
