In an age of declining literacy, Cage stands out as one of America’s best and original writers.
Curious about your use of “fulsome” here. His admiration could certainly be described as abundant, but I detect no insincerity.
I read these books — Silence, A Year from Monday — as a student (of literature, not music) many moons ago. Thanks for reminding me that they are in a box somewhere — time to root them out for a revisitation.
