Kay Larson

Maria Popova rave. Interesting topic, fascinating subjects, decent writing, a little too much breathless use of core theme to explain every small action and event in Cage's wanderings. Didn't read all the way through because it was more detail than I cared to know, but an interesting and insightful book for anyone interested in John Cage and his social circle and the principles driving his work.

3.5. Greatly appreciated the fact that Larson went beyond just mentioning that Buddhism (and other religious thought) influenced Cage et al, and showed *how* it did.

Loving the Seattle/PNW stories but needed to set the book aside for other, more personally compelling reads. I'd like to pick this up when I have more time to read it a little at a time.
