Williams writes in his forward, "The fables - on the right-hand pages of the book - came first. Only gradually, after several exhibitions of these far-fetched fictions, did I come to realize that there was at least an iota, a jot or a tittle of truth - and sometimes a big blob of reality - in each and everyone one of them. And here, for the first time, the documentation appears opposite the collages themselves...on the left hand pages, opposite each of the cartoons, are enlightening documents from the author's personal archive relating some of the unlikely things that really happened in Performance Art 'show biz' over the years." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

In her essay "The Myth and the Mythmaker," curator Kathleen Edwards wrote that Roth was influenced by Dadaism, Surrealism, Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism, Fluxus and Conceptual Art. Buzz Spector contributed an essay "The Artist as Archivist, The Book as Body: Dieter Roth's Gesammelte Werke." He defined an Archive as a "repository of texts and/or images organized around a given subject. It provides for a relation of general equivalence between its components, and for a means of sorting through their accumulation. Unlike dictionaries or encyclopedias, which define words or ideas in relation to general linguistic or cultural models, and whose cognitive "force" is directed centrifugally, toward the margins of a discursive terrain, the force of the archive is centipetal, drawing in traces of its concern that coalesce to form clearer - which is to say, denser, more focused - insights into the meaning of its subject." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Emmett Williams writes about his creation of the Alphabet Symphony for the Festival of Misfits in London in 1962. The performance was one of the first Fluxus events even before the name Fluxus was used.

Paterson contributed an essay and conducted Williams' alphabet performance. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
