How It Is in Common Tongues was composed by searching for the text of Samuel Beckett's How It Is using a universally accessible search engine, attempting to find, in sequence, the longest common phrases from How It Is that were composed by writers or writing machines other than Beckett. These phrases are quoted from a portion of the commons of language that happens to have been indexed by a universally accessible engine.
How It Is in Common Tongues is an art work, and an aesthetic outcome of The Readers Project. For more information, please visit: thereadersproject.org.
The notes at the bottom of each page in the book give the shortest url (often one of many) that we were able to retrieve for the phrases cited. The first in a sequence of citations provides, in parentheses, the date when we found the phrase on the web page given, and immediately subsequent citations will have 'id.' instead of a date, where this is the same as that last provided. The number following the date (or 'id.') is the total number of occurrences found for the phrase, as searched on that date and for the search engine we used. Note numbers are hexadecimal.
How It Is in Common Tongues is officially hors de commerce. All monies are received from those contracting to obtain a copy in the form of a donation, with any surplus over costs donated to appropriate charities or advocacy groups.
This artists' book is produced in an edition limited to 256 copies, numbered 0-ff. The first f copies are not in circulation.

Chinese-born, U.S.–based artist Xu Bing (born 1955) makes epic, language-based sculptures, books and installations that are frequently inspired by China’s rich heritage of print culture and bookmaking. This beautifully designed volume records his acclaimed work “Tianshu” (or “Book from the Sky”). “Tianshu” consists of four volumes of unreadable “Chinese” characters printed in a traditional Chinese style from 4,000 hand-carved pieces of wood type. (The number of invented characters was based on the actual number of characters in common usage in China.) It took Xu Bing four years to carve the type and create the characters for this extraordinary work, which he first conceived in 1986 as “a book that no one would ever be able to read.” The volume includes Xu Bing’s own account of the work’s genesis, as well as extended commentary by a range of scholars.

Collecting and recontextualizing writings from the last twenty years of John Cayley's research-based practice of electronic literature, Grammalepsy introduces a theory of aesthetic linguistic practice developed specifically for the making and critical appreciation of language art in digital media. As he examines the cultural shift away from traditional print literature and the changes in our culture of reading, Cayley coins the term “grammalepsy” to inform those processes by which we make, understand, and appreciate language.
Framing his previous writings within the overall context of this theory, Cayley eschews the tendency of literary critics and writers to reduce aesthetic linguistic making-even when it has multimedia affordances-to “writing.” Instead, Cayley argues that electronic literature and digital language art allow aesthetic language makers to embrace a compositional practice inextricably involved with digital media, which cannot be reduced to print-dependent textuality.
