Scope and Contents
This book consists of four major sections. The first is a repetitious short prose piece that reads, "The top is, originally, a tuft of hair, or the hair of the head. The top is the head, or the crown of the head...." This is repeated on the next nine pages with minor modifications to the dense of the piece. The second section consists of one to three photocopied columns of the NYC telephone white pages with a list of brief typewritten comments, one to a page. For example, these phrases include "rank, from the waist up, Beside the lamp, By now, Helen and Charles, hand in hand, David's arm,"etc. There does not appear to be a direct relationship between the lists from the telephone book and Acconci's list. The third section consists of two line poems, placed with a line drawing of a rectangle with content as follows, e.g., "I go where--we go off, He goes back to where--those go back on him." The fourth section consists of brief alternating single lines of dialog. -- Source of...
