I don't like to boast, but try my books A DIALECTIC OF CENTURIES (2nd ed.
Barrytown: Printed Editions, 1979-get it from Small Press Distribution in
Berkeley, CA), HORIZONS (Carbondale, IL: Southern Illinois University
Press, 1981) and the forthcoming 2001: MODERNISM SINCE POSTMODERNISM (San

Curious about my paintings? See my show on the Gallery pages of the Left
Hand Books site-<http://www.lefthandbooks.com/lhb>. You can see "Double
John," a portrait of Cage, and three others. You can order books or buy the
paintings if you feel so inclined. And it's not the stuff you'll find in
galleries or book superstores.
