Stapled 10"x6", 16-page artist book with multi-colored text.

Parts LXI to LXXXIX of Cage's four-part text on the Vietnam War and 1960s political issues. This book is printed in three colors, but in a variety of combinations that produce a myriad of different colors on the page. A repository of observations, anecdotes, obsessions, jokes and koan like stories, the diary registers Cage's assessment of the times in which he lived as well as his often uncanny predictions about the world we live in. An exploration of chance, play, variations on themes that reflect minimalist modularities or zen realities.
