SURVIVORS OF A FUTURE THAT NEVER HAPPENED - a cultural review 1974 - 1994
SURVIVORS OF A FUTURE THAT NEVER HAPPENED - a cultural review, 1974-1994 is a collection of eighteen articles and essays, some previously published in Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, American Theater magazine, and Tricycle: the Buddhist Review, by Robert Coe, a journalist, author, award-winning playwright, and screenwriter. Coe shares an affinity for the brilliant, the outlandish, the contested, and the ignored. These chapters can be read as a kind of cultural review, touching mostly on the live and visual arts, but also on art neighborhoods, skydiving, poetry, ceramics, barbecue restaurants, cultural theory, Freudian psychology, women's bodybuilding, Buddhism, and the politics of race and revolution. SURVIVORS OF A FUTURE THAT NEVER HAPPENED profiles people who survived the cultural revolution of the '60s and went on to fashion some of the most extraordinary creative endeavors of the twenty years in scope. The future didn't exist back then. You had to imagine it, because otherwise, it would all be just Now.
