从文革时期开始，徐冰就以自刻字的方式，开始制作无人能看懂的方块字。历时四年，1987年完成。他一共制作了4000多个新的“汉字”，并且用这些字印成了《析世鉴》（又称《天书》），总共由连续的宣纸和大张的挂幅，以及1200册线装书组成。所有的文字按照宋式排版方式制作而成。 1997年徐冰又发明了英文书法，将26个字母化作常见的字符，最终变成一个成行的表达方式。这次和“天书”不一样的是，徐冰的英文书法是真正可以用于书写的文字。

詹姆斯·罗兹（James Rhodes, 1975— ） 38岁未成大名却写了自传，每章前面还用最伟大的作曲家和钢琴家为自己背书：巴赫、贝多芬、舒伯特、舒曼、肖邦、拉威尔……他到底是谁？ 他曾在18岁时得到伦敦市政厅音乐及戏剧学院的奖学金，却去到爱丁堡大学，完全放弃了钢琴弹奏且退学了一年。在巴黎的汉堡王打工12个月后，他去伦敦大学学院攻读心理学，随后在伦敦工作了五年。在毁灭性的精神崩溃致使他被精神疗养院收治之后，他再次拾起了钢琴。 他现在是一位备受赞扬的职业音乐会钢琴家、作者和电视主持人。他还录过五张唱片，但最享受的还是去世界各地的音乐厅现场演奏，对，穿着牛仔裤，在曲间与听众互动，讲讲跟曲子有关的故事，自己对曲子的理解。 这一切，都因为他年幼时不寻常的经历。 译者 周河清，毕业于上海音乐学院音乐学系，曾任编辑、作曲家助理、文案撰稿等。现教音乐、写稿子...(展开全部)

The childhood of Patricia Lockwood, the poet dubbed "The Smutty-Metaphor Queen of Lawrence, Kansas" by The New York Times, was unusual in many respects. There was the location: an impoverished, nuclear waste-riddled area of the American Midwest.
