“Anyone who wants to understand the trajectory of American art from the postwar period to the present will want to read this book. Jill Johnston was at the center of the big shift as modernism gave way to postmodernism, not only as a chronicler but as an instigator, as boundaries between previously discrete forms were dissolved, as old certainties opened into ongoing inquiries and persistent questions and the line between making art and social change became illegible. Anyone who enjoys creative nonfiction and adventurous writing will want to dip into this fabulous collection again and again.” -- Holly Hughes, Professor, Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design, University of Michigan “There is so much to learn from Jill Johnston about dance history, art history, literary history, the history of criticism, and feminist and lesbian history. So often, all of these fields come together within the space of a single piece of Johnston’s writing, or even a single beautiful sentence or profound turn of phrase. This book is an absolute pleasure to read.” -- Anthea Kraut, author of * Choreographing Copyright: Race, Gender, and Intellectual Property Rights in American Dance *
