description: Michel Butor's text is the rainbow, and the works of three visual artists are the prisms in this study of Butor's collaborations in which he has claimed that the artists gave him "access to other rooms in his imagination." Miller (humanities and social sciences, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical U.) focuses on collaborations in which the artworks preceded and influenced Butor's texts, providing insight into Butor's concepts of collaboration. Miller finds Butor's poetry, prose, harmony, and humor demonstrating his love of unspoiled nature, his concern for the oppressed and dispossessed, and his notions of the range and diversity of man's inhumanity to man. The text is complemented by 74 black and white illustrations. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
