Review
"This book is so rich in ideas relevant to all sorts of artistic, philosophical, and social endeavors, that I doubt if any open-minded and intelligent person would not be challenged [by] this compendium of provocative aphorisms, intellectual absurdities, and formulations so original they will doubtlessly make sense to some, nonsense to others"--Richard Kostelanetz, Denver Quarterly
"Our first and best all-American dadaist... and his prose style is the finest since Gertrude Stein."-- The Kirkus Reviews
"A Year from Monday is a mosaic whose part and whose whole are the same thing...and you had better not miss both the forest and the trees; and you better not worry about mixed metaphor along the way." --Martin Last, WBAI - FM, New York City
"Cage's writings does not tell us what to think as much as it makes us think I a particular way... cage demonstrates in an unpretentious, subtle ad forceful way the profound spiritual basis of avante-garde art."--American Scholar

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very Interesting,
This review is from: A Year from Monday: New Lectures and Writings (Paperback)
I find his book very interesting and informative in many ways. Most of it is very difficult to read because 1. John Cage is extremely intellectual, and 2. He is very avan garde, so some of the formats in which he writes in can be very complicated. I enjoy it being complicated though because there is something you can always figure out about it or just look into very closely. My favorite subject of this book are his journal/diary entries. They include entries of him away at master classes and the things that he talks about are humorous, great to know, and interesting to think about. I recommend this selection of John Cage highly.
