NOTE

"Apropos of nothing, I wonder who wrote the book of love. Really! I do! Could it be Steve Wolfe? Certainly his books are lovingly made, which is promising--yet something in them is mute and withholding. Ain't that always the way...the works are madeleines for a generation's intellectual education." (David Frankel, Artforum, January 2004)
