WHERE THE HEART BEATS - KAY LARSON KARTONIERT (TB)

A "heroic" biography of John Cage and his "awakening through Zen Buddhism"-"a kind of love
story" about a brilliant American pioneer of the creative arts who transformed himself and his
culture (The New York Times)  Composer John Cage sought the silence of a mind at peace with
itself-and found it in Zen Buddhism  a spiritual path that changed both his music and his view
of the universe. "Remarkably researched  exquisitely written " Where the Heart Beats weaves
together "a great many threads of cultural history" (Maria Popova  Brain Pickings) to
illuminate Cage's struggle to accept himself and his relationship with choreographer Merce
Cunningham. Freed to be his own man  Cage originated exciting experiments that set him at the
epicenter of a new avant-garde forming in the 1950s. Robert Rauschenberg  Jasper Johns  Andy
Warhol  Yoko Ono  Allan Kaprow  Morton Feldman  and Leo Castelli were among those influenced by
his 'teaching' and 'preaching.' Where the Heart Beats shows the blossoming of Zen in the very
heart of American culture.
