Summary

"The beauty of this book is the brilliant amassing by Susan Bee and Mira Schor of so many voices, ideas, and approaches. This anthology is full of gems, separately and in their juxtapositions. Fascinating, rich fare."--Moira Roth, coauthor of "Difference/Indifference: Musings on Postmodernism, Marcel Duchamp, and John Cage"
