condition (book): NM
Softbound 10"x7", 124-page book, fully illustrated.
A publication associated with the Dutch radio broadcast Sounday of June 15, 1978 - a programme dedicated to John Cage and his engagement with the literary and sonic work of James Joyce, broadcast by the KRO (Katholieke Radio Omroep). The programme preceded Cage's collaboration with Klaus Schöning of the WDR in Cologne that would result in Roaratorio: An Irish Circus on Finnegans Wake (1979). The publication documents this specific intersection of Cage, Joyce, and Dutch radio culture - a modest but historically specific artifact of Cage's European reception in the late 1970s.
