Editorial Reviews
Review
"John Cage is one of those few contemporaries who do important work in more than one art...a master of several arts, a slave to none."--Richard Kostelanetz, The New York Times Book Review

"Whether sharing with us details of meals he's enjoyed on tour, transforming texts from Thoreau's Journal by I Ching operations, or digging 'mesostics' on James Joyce's name out of Finnegans Wake, he'll keep you fascinated, exasperated, or amused, depending on your reaction to this sort of thing. There are only two essays on 'music' in the book--but then, to Cage, everything is music. Recommended for freewheeling art/music/poetry collections."--Library Journal

Product Description
Writings through James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake, Norman O. Brown, and "The Future of Music."
