Great 20th century novel and a great, dense "city symphony." Wonderful integration of popular culture. Belongs w Grosz, Dix & Beckmann, as well as The Three-Penny Opera. Has been compared favorably to Ulysses (which I'll have to re-read for the first time since high school).

Wow. I can only imagine how much that annoyed P. Adams (and in Annette's magazine too). Thx, Jim

Very funny. Frampton was a lot closer to Annette Michelson than he was to Sitney. Let me know if you can identify the source.

He always seemed old--at 24 already had that long beard, wore 3-piece suits, possibly purchased 2nd hand. Complicated guy, deadly serious & at times raucously funny. Politically rightwing, married a wonderful feminist lefty Marjorie Keller who died shockingly young leaving him twin girls to raise.

A true individual. P. Adams was affable/irascible, generous/opinionated, totally brilliant & always accessible. He gave me 2 breaks--one leading to a book, Midnight Movies, and the other to a 22 year gig at Cooper Union--and a wealth of background material for Everything is Now.

More or less. This is a "war" with real domestic consequences.

Both are true. They get a show, we foot the bill (and worse).

Yes, read Joshua Cohen's novel The Netanyahus and weep (with laughter)
