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.
