CS Dept. Lines: 28 Well, you puppies have sure been great in ferreting out the LA stuff. The new Harper&Row is available in paper (20) or hdbnd. (30), and is in essence a sort of fancily laid out and illustrated script for USA(1-1V). The Top Stories stuff you may have trouble finding (I got mine in SLC Utah at the Cosmic Airplane bookstore while on a recording-peddling jaunt). It's a pleasant little slim volume, and you will find that a fair amount of it appears in some form or other in the text of UNITED STATES. These are generally some slightly older text pieces, which seem to date from the days when US was a much shorter piece called "Americans on the Move". If you are indeed hungry for more text stuff, you might want to check out an anthology of work by various Post-Modernists, called "Individuals: Post Movement Art in America"...I've forgotten the publisher (it might be Dutton), but I am sure that the author/editor is Alan Sonnier. It contains a text cycle of Laurie Anderson's work from the mid-seventies, called "For Instants." I find it to be a pretty satisfying piece of writing, right on the border between Literature/textuality and Performance/storytelling. This book is out in paper and hardcover, and I'd recommend it right alongside the "Performance Art" text that Karl mentioned recently as an introduction to the whole Post-Modern enterprise. greg ________________________________________________________________________________ If you ask me, I may tell you gtaylor@cornell it's been this way for years Gregory Taylor I play my red guitar....
