Yes, I’m enjoying Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing’s 2015 book, The Mushroom at the End of the World, which I’ve owned for almost as long and started twice and am finally getting into. It’s interesting how much John Cage is in it. Even before I got to the Cage mention at the start of the “interlude” between section I and II of the book, I’d noticed, amid all the mycology (of which Cage was a major enthusiast), much attention paid to “indeterminacy” (“the unplanned nature of time,” in the author’s words) and “happening” (as opposed by Tsing to “gathering”), both key Cageian concepts.
