"As the unchallenged father figure of American experimental music,
Mr. Cage wields an influence that extends far beyond sound
alone....Indeed, the entire American avant-garde would be
unthinkable without Mr. Cage's music, writings, and genially
patriarchical personality."--John Rockwell, The New York Times
"Of all Cage's books, it is perhaps the first, Silence, which has
had the broadest impact. Even now, artists of all sorts continue to
respond to its Zen principles, its chance procedures, and its
revolutionary ideas about sound, silence, form, and time"--Dance
Chronicle
"One of the most entertaining and rewarding intellectual voyages
that contemporary literature affords."--San Francisco Chronicle
"SILENCE starts with the finest dedications of modern times--'To
Whom It May Concern'--and past that you embark on one of the most
entertaining and rewarding intellectual voyages that contemporary
literature affords."--Alfred Frankenstein, San Francisco Chronicle
