review: Editorial Reviews Review What becomes apparent, however, in both his diary and letters, is Cage's deep sense of vulnerability, the emotional force guiding him through his craft and relationships and a world fraught with political unease. -- Dave Wheeler ― Shelf Awareness [John Cage: Diary] is no ordinary account of days gone by; a plain record of events would be too simple for such a daring and meticulous artist. The product of thirty years, Diary allows us a glimpse of the late twentieth century through Cage’s eyes. His insights and observations reveal a generous, openhearted view of the world in tumult. ― Paris Review I realized that I gravitated towards Cage’s writings because I was tired of tidy narratives and expected endings. I wanted a text that tumbled down the page midstream, never arriving at a full stop. -- J Mae Barizo ― LitHub [R]ead Cage’s diary... for his valuable insights into art, language, and humorous prose on why paper should be edible or how he describes himself as an “open cage." -- Perwana Nazif ― Los Angeles Review of Books
