News of a book of Ray Johnson interviews (compiled from multiple authors) is circulating among networkers and might be of interest to IUOMA members. Here's a link with more info:

https://www.amazon.com/That-Was-Answer-Interviews-Johnson/dp/194019...

"That Was the Answer: Interviews with Ray Johnson brings together a selection of interviews and conversations from 1963 to 1987 that offer unique access to Johnson's distinctive thinking and working methods. Throughout, Johnson's responses are marked by his humor and close attention to language. Gathering these interviews for the first time, That Was the Answer serves as an ideal introduction to Ray Johnson as well as a resource for those wanting deeper insight into this artist and his kaleidoscopic body of work."

HaHa! Yes, I’m appreciative of any (good) resources on the history of m-a. Now, it remains to be seen how much I absorb!

i'll have to look up the one rudd did. i'm reading that book on people who influenced ray johnson right now which i'm really enjoying.

Hi William, it looks like a great book. I'm not familiar with many of the interviewers. I have seen a John Held Jr. (he's in there) interview that is really historic. That alone makes it worth a look.

Ruud Janssen did a RayJo interview that does not appear to have made it intp this book. You can find it online. It's notable for it's strangeness imho.
