ABSTRACT

Includes details of their collaborative work and anecdotes about Cage’s sense of humor, his health choices, and his aesthetic tastes late in life. Includes a complete transcript of “You Are,” a theater piece by Anastasi performed by Cage, in which Cage transcribed what he heard in the performance space. Closes with reproductions of visual art works by both Cage and Anastasi.
