Joan Retallack
Wesleyan
, 1996
Charming, delightful, thought-provoking
I know nothing about music, but I loved this book! Cage's conversations brim with humor, wisdom, and amazing insights into every subject under the sun. It's an enormous pleasure to spend a few hours "in his company" by reading this book.

Anarchy: New York City-January 1998
John Cage
Wesleyan
, 2001
anarchic seems every bit more escapist, self-indulgent
John Cage was never an activist,at least not one that had tangible results toward change. His work remains amongst/ within the safe,complaisant corridors of escapist realms. He encouraged throughout his life,gently, cadre's of creators, all brilliant,provocative, ...

Composition In Retrospect
John Cage
Exact Change
, 2008
Written in his characteristic "mesostics" (linked lines of prose poetry), Composition in Retrospect is a statement of methodology in which composer John Cage examines the central issues of his work: Indeterminacy, nonunderstanding, inconsistency, imitation, variable structure, contingency. Finished only shortly before his death in 1992, ...
Silence: Lectures and Writings
John Cage
Wesleyan
, 1961
Essential
Not just for musicians, but for anybody who is interested in music or philosophy. Cage's ideas presented in the work are fascinating in and of themselves, but even the manner in which he physically notates his thoughts on paper is amazing to see. There's a common ...

M by John Cage
I read this book many years ago and do not know if it is even still in print. I saw that no-one had reviewed it and felt duty bound to add my little bit in the hope it might persuade someone else to go to the trouble of seeking out this book. It is one of THOSE books, ...

John Cage,
Daniel Charles
Marion Boyars Publishers Ltd
, 2000
The New Grove Dictionary of Music has said of John Cage that he "had a greater impact on world music than any other American composer in the twentieth century," and his musical thinking forms a whole with his writing. For the Birds is a book, a dialogue and an event all at once. The initial conversations were recorded in France between 1968 ...

Mud Book
John Cage,
Lois Long
Harry N Abrams
, 1988
Mud Pies are to make and to look at, not to eat.
Contrary to what the editorial review says, this is not a "good-natured satire". This book is both a serious and fun guide for making mud cakes and pies. Everybody can do it! The fact that the result might not be edible does not detract from the value of this little ...
