I don’t know how I missed this page. Great reference, thank you. I’m certain that I’ll have a few to add.

Doing some cursory sniffing around I can see that I NEED to get myself a copy of The Burroughs File. And again, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I don’t dislike B&N. I do find it annoying that they seem to also be a toy store. But that’s okay. That makes other book stores, especially independent ones, that much more interesting and unique. Yeah, and, because B&N caters to such a wide audience the occasional really interesting book lands in there and sits for a really long time. I’ve seen it with books I already have or books I want but might not be able to afford.

You might find The Burroughs File in a B&N.

So, like Bukowski, Burroughs has been in so many different publications (considering their involvement in the mimeo revolution) that it’s possible to come upon pieces that have never been widely anthologized all these years later. The hunt is really awesome. The discovery is so…exciting, really. I just love the fact that I’ve come upon some writings that can’t be found elsewhere, not Barnes & Noble or any of those type of places. I’m not quite sure I can get enough. I’m hooked. I need. I’m jones-ing.

“The Cut-Up Method” has been reprinted more often than “Newspeak.” The Cut-Up Method appears in Yugen, RE/Search as well as on UbuWeb. There are others as well. I would not be surprised if it is in Word Virus. The only “Newspeak” instance that comes to mind is Evergreen Review.

Many of these pieces I recognize. Some I do not. Specifically, “A Casebook on the Beat”. I picked up a copy in a thrift store for 50 cents. Are “The Cut Up Method by Brion Gysin” and “A Newspeak…” also published elsewhere or in another Burroughs comp? Great pieces.

You can hear Burroughs read the entire text of Death Fiend Guerillas on a CD entitled FRESH SOUNDS FROM MIDDLE AMERICA #5, released in 1990 by Fresh Sounds, Inc.
