Vari. Fernando Bakos said a tresure. I allways wanted this book, filled with the most amazing texts and images. A journey in to the backstage of the performance an much more from Laurie anderson.. sarah said And Everything It Says Is True.. This book is the definitive companion. Laurie's work can often resemble a slowly realized puzzle. You flip a few pieces over, notice this one resembles that one, while at the same time appreciating each piece for itself. Reading this book is like seeing the box the puzzle came in. It's not quite cheating; it sheds new light on each individual piece and inspires a new appreciation. Balanced with nearly an equal amount of pictures and text, it is accessible as a coffee table book and essential for a Laurie Anderson fan,
Great retrospective on Laurie Anderson's work! Softcover book with wonderful photos and texther fans would love this book.
