Modernity by George V. Packard Much changed thanks to musical innovations like Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, scientific advances such as quantum mechanics, new artistic genres like surrealism and other fresh ways of thinking that came along in the early 20th century. Here is a collection of short satirical "interviews" with the great icons of the Modern Age. MODERNITY takes a backward look at some of the figures and concepts that made us the way we are: Schrodinger, Wigner, Duchamp, Pound, Einstein, Proust, Pollock, Stein, Rothko, Marx, Hawkins, Beckett, Schonberg, Wittgenstein, Freud, Joyce, Godel, Monk, Stravinsky, Cage, Kafka, Higgs. George V. Packard's fiction has appeared in Redbook, Family Circle, Cavalier, Texas Monthly, Paris Metro, Yankee and Sports Illustrated.
