What I Last Read by Anastasia Clarke

The book I last completed was Give My Regards to Eighth Street, a collection
of essays and anecdotes by the composer Morton Feldman. Written throughout
the span of his life, these collected writings show how Feldman and other
New York artists, writers, and composers working during Feldman's era -- Mark
Rothko, Robert Rauschenberg, Philip Guston and John Cage, to name a few --
formulated a distinctly American art. To reinforce his accomplishment,
Feldman loves to harp on European modernist composers like Pierre Boulez,
shunning complex compositional methods in favor of his own, and not without
an occasional touch of egomania. A vociferous and opinionated personality,
Feldman sheds light on the time and place that compelled him to craft some
of the quietest, most hermetic music I've ever heard.
