Culled from Schumann’s extensive library of work notebooks he’s maintained since the early 60s, this nearly 200 page volume presents 612 numbered sentences and sentence-excerpts.
From Schumann’s introduction: “These complete & incomplete sentences are 1) extracted from my notebooks (in english & my native german) where they are submerged in to-do lists, texts & notes for puppet shows & multi-cultural polemics and diatribes 2) elaborations on words which are prominent in the modern and not-so-modern jargon 3) world-tackling language in its own right, neither fiction nor poetry nor philosophy”
A fascinating glimpse into the reflections, inspirations and work process of the mind-force behind all things Bread & Puppet. The texts are accompanied by occasional charcoal illustrations, and translations for the entries in German are listed at the end of the book.
