Abstract

The monograph about John Cage is told mostly in his own words and writings, although pieced together by another hand; and, because the editor's theme is that Cage is not just a composer but one of the century's seminal minds who has burrowed through many arts and 'fields, ' materials of all kinds are included here-essays and reviews, scores and sketches, notes, and even designs by Cage himself, as well as photographs, reportage and criticism of his diverse work.
