...astonishing news came nine weeks later on a tape. Calmly and coldly, Patty declared that she had joined the S.L.A. "I have chosen to stay and fight." She called her father "a liar" for claiming to be concerned about her welfare and that of "oppressed people." She insisted that she had not been "brainwashed, drugged, tortured, hypnotized or in any way confused" by her abductors. Included with the tape was a snapshot of Patty holding an automatic rifle in front of an S.L.A. cobra poster-a photo that was to become famous...
...extraordinary voice, one that should not have been kept from the general public for so long. Plath taped this reading on October 30, 1962, three days before her thirtieth birthday, during a particularly turbulent and astonishingly creative period of her life. Separated from her husband and living on her own in London with two small children, she would rise at four every morning to work and in the month of October alone spewed forth at least 26 poems. For the past 13 years the tape has been preserved in the Woodberry Poetry Room in Lamont Library...

The reporter/narrator sees that this is true for himself, too, when late in the book he launches into an earnest inquiry--unanswered--of whether or not one of his characters infiltrated a hospital by dressing up as a painter. The reporter gives up, acknowledging that the story that began as a statement of fact is no longer reducible to fact, no longer trustworthy...
...typically slick rock production--where some big rock superstar lays down one track, then overlays a track so he can accompany himself on the kazoo, throws in a moog synthesizer because the moog is oh so hip--look elsewhere. The music here is all recorded on a home tape recorder with one to three mikes. Dylan dislikes recording any song more than a couple of times, which is why you can sometimes here him laugh in the middle of a take, or talk to a member of The Band. What is lost in neatness is more than made...
