Scope and Contents

This eighty ninth page is titled "1991 Dante Dies in the Desert." The collage elements on the page include a selection from A Humument that reads "The latter marked the finale of the corner of Dante's Desert. Tom like It wasn't his face". An arrow points to a paper book cover titled "Die In Dante's Desert." A second excerpt reads "too weary to worry deep in Dante's Desert." The center section of the page contains an obituary of the actor Robert Eddison. TV Dante is shown again on Channel 4 described as " Swirling, multi-layered video art representation of the epic poem. Directors Peter Greenaway and Tom Phillips received gushing praise from mainstream critics who were apparently unaware that many of the visual techniques and devices employed were pioneered and perfected years ago by relatively unknown artists." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
