The Garver Junkie lies forgotten in the Library of Interzone, much like Garver himself in a Mexican cemetery. The facts regarding Garver’s death may be fiction. Or myth. Or legend. To tell the truth I have forgotten.

I was wondering Where this copy is now? I am very interested in negotiating to purchase it , as I am quintessential Burrough’s follower , been to Lawrence twice in 1990’s , looking to buy 1st edition , but this would be that much sweeter.. Where did you learn about Garver’s suicide BTW? I have never read that anywhere..Great article though , just awesome THANKS

He committed suicide in Mexico City in 1957 by taking sodium amytal tablets rather than face morphine withdrawal.

Thanks Jed. I was mentioning in another comment that I wanted to discover the identity of Bill Gains in Junky. This piece about the annotated Junky is a real gem. Do you any plans to scan any of it into the Library of the Interzone. The Reality Studio is a brilliant resource.
