Now for its third edition, more than a quarter-century later, the distinguished critic and arts historian Richard Kostelanetz returns to his favorite subject: the avant-garde in all the arts. Rewriting earlier entries, adding hundreds of new ones, he provides intelligence and information unavailable anywhere else, no less in print than on line,

In his latest book, THIRDOUROBOROS, Kostelanetz visually lays out words in circles.

Critical essays by Leslie Fiedler, High Kenner, Charles Olson, Northrop Frye, and many others.

This essential reader includes Thomson's essays on making a living as a musician, his articles on classic composers, his relation to his contemporaries, his articles on newcomers in the music world, including John Cage and Pierre Boulez, his autobiographical writings and commentary on his own works.

Conversing with Cage draws on over 150 interviews with John Cage conducted over four decades to draw a full picture of his life and art. Filled with the witty aphorisms that have made Cage as famous as an esthetic philosopher as a composer, the book offers both an introduction to Cage's way of thinking and a rich gathering of his many thoughts on art, life, and music.John Cage is perhaps this century's most radical classical composer.
