mekas.jpgB.jpguy this book now. Jonas Mekas has opened his personal archives and it is an unbelievable treat.
Over the years this guy has done more for us than we could ever do for him, and anyone who has been in NYC at any time since 1970 and hasn’t been to his Anthology Film Archives is someone to feel sorry for.
In Mekas’s book you’ll see reproductions of a letter to him from Joan Crawford (her drunken scrawl will bring tears to your eyes), of cards and letters from Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, even the Supremes fer crying out loud.
And that’s just for starters. Thanks, Jonas, for everything, including this wonderful book. Nuff said. RD
