But they never acknowledged it--it happened within six months of the publication of Minutes To Go, in January 1960." Gysin seems unaware that Burroughs published some material in Locus Solus II. Also, it's Harry Mathews not Matthews. And he wasn't a member of the Oulipo until years after Locus Solus ceased publication.
