Oliver Harris is putting out a call for contributors for a book he is coediting with Davis Schneiderman and Alex Wermer-Colan. The book is to be called William S. Burroughs in Context and will be published by Cambridge University Press.

“This collection asks for pieces that weave together the thematic connections between Burroughs’ biography, his fictional universe, his artistic practices and methods, and the larger historical, philosophical issues at play.”

Read the Call for Contributors to learn more and reach out to Oliver Harris (oliverharris@mac.com) to contribute.
