Minimal Fictions
Concrete Fiction. Offered here for the first time in book form are important selections from Richard Kostelanetz's esteemed experimental texts. Minimal Fictions encompasses some 400 stories which, taken together, form a fictional world that is as visually surprising as it is verbally resonant. It should be emphasized that there is a clear difference between the minimalism practiced by Carver and Barthelme and the truly radical minimalism--analogous to that devised by musicians and painters in the 1960's--of someone like Richard Kostelanetz, who since 1970 has produced a number of highly original fictions in the forms of lines, numbers, one-, two-, and three-word sequences, and other severely attenuated elements.

Writings on Glass
Philip Glass, composer of symphonies, operas (Einstein on the Beach, Akhnaten, Orphe), film scores (Kundun, Mishima, Koyaanisqatsi), songs, and music for dance is a musician who determined early on that he wanted to compose independently, apart from institutions. That decision has made him a controversial figure among academic musicians, in spite of his rigorous training at Juilliard, and with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. Richard Kostelanetz has gathered a lively and varied collection of writings about Philip Glass's work, along with several interviews and a conversation between Glass and sculptor Richard Serra. The chronology of the works and discography have been updated for the paperback edi...
A Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes
A Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes recognizes that change is a driving force in all the arts. It covers major trends in music, dance, theater, film, visual art, sculpture, and performance art--as well as architecture, science, and culture.
Text--sound Texts
"Representing a fusion of the avant-garde in poetry, music, and the performing arts, this unique anthology includes poems, scores, scripts, and detailed performance instructions as well as theoretical manifestos and critical essays. Among the more than one hundred pieces are works by Allen Ginsberg, John Cage, Jack Kerouac, Claes Oldenberg, Philip Glass, Raymond Federman, Glenn Gould, Jerome Rothenberg, and Gertrude Stein. Text-Sounds Texts is the first collection of sound poetry to be published in North America; unlike anthologies published abroad, it is devoted exclusively to American and Canadian authors."--Publisher
A Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes
Twenty-five years after the publication of A Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes, the distinguished critic and arts historian Richard Kostelanetz returns to his favorite subject for a third edition. Rewriting earlier entries, adding hundreds of new ones, Kostelanetz provides intelligence and information unavailable anywhere else, no less in print than online, about a wealth of subjects and individuals. Focused upon what is truly innovative and excellent, he ranges widely with insight and surprise, including appreciations of artistic athletes such as Muhammad Ali, Johan Cruyff, and the Harlem Globetrotters and such collective creations as Las Vegas and his native New York City. Continuing the traditions of cheeky high-style Dictionarysts, honoring Samuel Johnson and Nicolas Slonimsky (both with individual entries), Kostelanetz offers a "reference book" to be enjoyed not only in bits and chunks, but continuously as one of the dozen books someone would take if they planned to be stranded on a desert isle.
