Scope and Contents
Burnett defines spawl as messy land-use that defies clear order and ready -made labels that generally consists of five components: housing subdivisions, shopping centers, office parks, civic institutions, and roadways. The author indicates that he intends to create sprawl in a text stream and acknowleges the books of Ed Ruscha, Raymond Roussell, Guy Debord, Asger Jorn, Jeff Wall, On Kawara, and Cyril Mcfadden. The pages have been printed with a software program that allows assigning a value of a gray scale to each letter. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
