Road to Interzone

by Michael Stevens

RealityStudio is proud to present this digital edition of a key Burroughs reference work, Michael Stevens’ The Road to Interzone: Reading William S. Burroughs Reading. Published by Suicide Press in 2009, Road to Interzone is a bibliography of Burroughs’ reading — an index to the books known to have been read, blurbed, or cut up by the author of Naked Lunch. Road to Interzone is currently out of print, although Stevens has been preparing a third edition for future publication. Indeed the PDF which you can download here at RealityStudio contains an appendix, “Select Additions for a Third Edition of The Road to Interzone (2010-2012).”

“Michael Stevens’s The Road to Interzone,” Davis Schneiderman writes, “offers an outstanding contribution to the newest work on Burroughs.” Jed Birmingham adds that, “Like Oliver Harris’ The Secret of Fascination and Robert Sobieszek’s Ports of Entry before it, The Road to Interzone is an indispensable addition to the canon of Burroughs Studies.”
