Of course, language barrier was somewhat an obstacle to fully enjoy the interview but certainly I got a lot from it. I’m making my first childish attempts at looking deeper into Burroughs and now I think Reality Studio must be the right place to get ready for the journey. Never knew of Moorcock and other authors mentioned here. And reading the interview was a good impulse to start filling huge blanks in my personal education. I was struck with the ending of Obama renaissance. I’m miles away US but it doesn’t matter where you are at to feel overwhelming ugliness and hopelessness of today. With this insight, Burroughs is going to be even more relevant in near future than he was in the cold war times, as we’ll witness increasing “rapacity of business” and “authoritarian tendencies of the government”. As a visionary Burroughs sensed we all move into the epoch of total control. And now we are entering the era of tightening grip in which Burroughs is certainly a loaded gun for self-defense.

Yet another, fascinating, valuable and robust Interview, published by Reality Studio and the Bunker!

( And the Michael Moorcock Reviews are very fine too! )

A true inspiration! Splendidly informative! Again, I am astonished, made humble and grateful for your generosity.

The Interview resonated for me on a great many levels.

On the trivial side, the Hotel, where I stayed in Paris in 1961, was the Madeleine. In the late summer of 1962, while staying in London, waiting to board a Belgian Freighter, back to North America, the Tube Station for me was Ladbroke Grove.

On the non-trivial side, I found the road maps of all the authors cited, and their literature, to be a fabulous treasure.

Thank you!
