Reviews
"This book is so rich in ideas relevant to all sorts of artistic, philosophical, and social endeavors, that I doubt if any open-minded and intelligent person would not be challenged [by] this compendium of provocative aphorisms, intellectual absurdities, and formulations so original they will doubtlessly make sense to some, nonsense to others"—Richard Kostelanetz, Denver Quarterly
"Cage's writings does not tell us what to think as much as it makes us think I a particular way cage demonstrates in an unpretentious, subtle ad forceful way the profound spiritual basis of avante-garde art."—American Scholar
"A Year from Monday is a mosaic whose part and whose whole are the same thingand you had better not miss both the forest and the trees; and you better not worry about mixed metaphor along the way."—Martin Last, WBAI – FM, New York City
