...Creator of a haunting Kafkaesque nightmare, The Woman in the Dunes, and an existential detective story, The Ruined Map, Author Kobo Abe has the traditional Japanese knack of taking familiar literary inputs and converting them into exotically fascinating readouts. His latest effort is a fictional foray into political science fiction...
...creator, Charles A. Reich, is a professor of law at Yale. He offers the rules, and defines the three categories, in a new book called The Greening of America (Random House; $7.95) that is attracting major attention.

About 25 of them, some as big as 2 ft. by 4 ft. and costing as much as $3,500, were sold through Manhattan's Howard Wise Art Gallery-one of them to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Still, Matisse-grandson of the French Post-Impressionist-insists that his creation is not strictly art.
