The first attempt to capture a Beuys performance in book form: For "I Like America and America Likes Me" in May 1974 Beuys spent seven days and nights in a room with a wild coyote, employing a walking stick, felt, gloves, a flashlight, and the Wall Street Journal. Man and beast developed a mode of wordless co-existence, a two-sided performance that became rich with assumed meanings.
