A Book About Ray By far the most complete framing of Ray Johnson to date, Ellen Levy’s A Book About Ray engages with the work of the enigmatic artist on his own terms. Reviewed by Patrick James Dunagan

This is exactly the kind of grossly unreasonable publisher demand that makes life as an author so difficult.
