Since Cage is a topic of discussion, have any of you read Kyle Gann's "No Such Thing As Silence"? I think it's an especially good book for anyone who's unfamiliar with a lot of the context that led to the creation of 4'33". Gann was actually a guest lecturer for a symposium at my university about four years ago and I got to see him discuss his own pieces, which are pretty cool if you have any interest in microtonality or Disklavier music. I didn't know anything about his writing career at the time though.
