At 80, Marina Abramović Adds a Book to a Busy Season

Marina Abramović is approaching her eightieth birthday with a full calendar: several new exhibitions, a performance that is on tour, and a new book titled "Long Life, Short Stories." She has no plans to slow down, and she says the work is what gives her days their purpose. Her career is known for performances that happen once and are gone, so the book offers something a reader can buy and keep on the shelf. The title also explains its form: a long life, told in short pieces.
