A slightly truncated version of the text, also in Swedish, appeared in Öyvind Fahlström's book, Om livskonst o.a., Bonniers Förlag, Stockholm, 1970, pp. 21-33. The Om livskonst version omits the first four paragraphs (up until »Is Gloria V. a subject or an idea?«). Furthermore, the Om livskonst version contains a number of minor editorial adjustments, some of which are spelling corrections. The John Cage quotes used in the piece come from Cages's essay »On Robert Rauschenberg, Artist, and his Work«, reprinted in John Cage, Silence, Wesleyan University Press, Middleton, CT, 1961, pp. 98-108. Fahlström translated Cage's text and this translation appeared in the pages immediately before »En gata full av presenter« in Konstrevy. 2.
