Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[David Patterson <>]

Hi! The contents of "Love, Icebox," while they do duplicate a fair amount of material found in "The Selected Letters of John Cage," also include a good number of letters that have not been published before. So the former is far from just a set of excerpts already found in the latter. I consider them very different books, albeit with some shared material. And as Tom Moore has already said, there is additional material of note in "Love, Icebox."

Rod, the content in Love, Icebox (the title of which gains meaning when one reads the first letter) contains letters written by John to Merce from 1942 to 1946, and is a very different sort of book than the Selected Letters. I’m not sure there’s any overlap in content between the two books, and Love, Icebox contains dozens of photos of letters, of their loft at 101 West 18, and of personal objects.

Best,

Tom Moore
