Silence, John Cage's first book and epic masterpiece, was published
in October 1961. In these lectures, scores, and writings, Cage
tries, as he says, to find a way of writing that comes from ideas,
is not about them, but that produces them. Often these writings
include mesostics and essays created by subjecting the work of
other writers to chance procedures using the I Ching. Fifty years
later comes a beautiful new edition with a foreword by eminent
music critic Kyle Gann. A landmark book in American arts and
culture, Silence has been translated into more than forty languages
and has sold over half a million copies worldwide. Wesleyan
University Press is proud to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
the book's publication with this special hardcover edition.
