Scope and Contents

This 39th new series collage page of the Dante Diary is titled "Dante in NY - BRU & Rouen". Phillips writes, "November. In New York delivering a copy to Richard Minsky for onward sale. Back via Brussels for lecturette & show of Dante pages. Toni Zwicker, who didn't want to buy the book when it was cheap has now bought two copies via Richard. News of the impending show in Miami where Dante will feature with some other things of mine, inc. globe etc. The curator wants to make a touring one-man show as well. " Phillips also writes that "Kees rings to say that at long last the money is gone through and we can make contracts: can anything be slower than this TV business? One loses so much of the original momentum." The collage elements on this page consist of a shadowy picture of what may be an open page of the Dante book, printed reviews and announcements of Phillips' presentations and an airline boarding pass. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
