Long out of print and unavailable to wider audiences, "The Paper
Snake "is an essential work in Ray Johnson's oeuvre and the second
title published by Dick Higgins' Something Else Press, in 1965.
Johnson describes the book as "all my writings, rubbings, plays,
things that I had mailed to Higgins] or brought to him in cardboard
boxes or shoved under his door, or left in his sink, or whatever,
over a period of years." A vertiginous, mind-bending artist's book,
"The Paper Snake" was far ahead of its time. In his essay "The
Hatching of the Paper Snake," Higgins says: "I was fascinated by
the way that the small works which Ray Johnson used to send through
the mail seemed so rooted in their moment and their context and yet
somehow they seemed to acquire new and larger meaning as time went
along ... Since a book is a more permanent body than a mailing
piece or even than our own physical ones, I could not help
wondering what it would be like to make a new body for Johnson's
ideas as a sort of love letter or time capsule for the future." A
collection of letters, little plays, tid-bits, collages and
drawings, "The Paper Snake" connects disparate elements to unbed
fixed relationships and forge new systems of meaning by means of
scissors, paste and the American postal system.

BLACK TIGRESS Many believe that there is no more deadly killer in
the Indian forest than the Bengal tigress. But of all the predators
of the subcontinent, none is more ferocious than the Black Tigress.
The women of the Tamil Tigers are indeed deadly, but by far the
most dangerous women are the Black Tigresses. Kent Jacobs, an
American attorney, is destined to come in contact with a beautiful,
but lethal, Black Tigress. Chandi is not only the most dangerous of
the Black Tigers; she is also stunningly captivating, making her
even more menacing. Her beauty is disarming, her determination
unnerving. Her assignment: kill the Indian ambassador. Kent's
assignment: protect the Indian ambassador. An unstoppable force is
about to meet an unmovable object. Ray Johnson takes us into the
dangerous world of the Tamil rebellion in Sri Lanka. A Black
Tigress has been given an assignment in the United States. Her
mission: kill the Indian Ambassador. The Sinhalese Buddhists of the
south of Sri Lanka are fighting for dominance. The Hindu Tamils in
the north are fighting for survival. Why kill the Indian
Ambassador? And why risk killing him in the United States? As in
all Ray Johnson's novels, things are not always as they appear.
Readers will be embedded with the dangerous characters until the
final paragraph. Then the truth will be out.

Ray Johnson (1927-1995) blurred the boundaries of life and art, of
authorship and intimacy. Correspondence is the defining character
of all of Johnson's work, particularly his mail art. Intended to be
read, to be received, to be corresponded with, his letters (usually
both image and textual in character) were folded and delivered to
an individual reader, to be opened and read, again and again.
Johnson's correspondence includes letter to friends William S.
Wilson, Dick Higgins, Richard Lippold, Toby Spiselman, Joseph
Cornell, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Robert Motherwell, Eleanor Antin,
Germaine Green, Lynda Benglis, Arakawa and Madeline Gins, Christo,
Billy Name, Jim Rosenquist and Albert M. Fine, among many others.
The subjects of his correspondence ranged from the New York
avant-garde (Cage, Johns, de Kooning, Duchamp) to filmmakers such
as John Waters, philosophers such as Jacques Derrida and writers
such as Gertrude Stein and Marianne Moore. This collection of more
than 200 selected letters and writings--most of which are
previously unpublished--opens a new view into the sprawling,
multiplicitous nature of Johnson's art, revealing not only how he
created relationships, glyphs and puzzles in connecting words,
phrases, people and ideas, but also something about the elusive
Johnson himself. In a 1995 article in "The New York Times," Roberta
Smith wrote: "Make room for Ray Johnson, whose place in history has
been only vaguely defined. Johnson's beguiling, challenging art has
an exquisite clarity and emotional intensity that makes it much
more than simply a remarkable mirror of its time, although it is
that, too."
