You’d actually start to enjoy the non-linear story and word hash and then Burroughs would ruin the whole thing with some disgusting gross-out scene full of ten-year-old humor.

The flood threw up some of Burroughs’ shit. His close friend Wayne Probst came in to sort out the mess and rescued the turd for posterity. Probst tells this story with great humour in the documentary “Words of Advice” by Danish filmmaker Lars Movin. (The film, incidentally, will be screened in Paris at the NL@50 homage events.)

When? How? For whom? etc etc. i think these vital questions demand a book in themselves. Perfect for the 50th anniversary….!

I await that day with interest!

Good article, Mr. Harris. Illuminating and truthful. I saw the (sc)roll last month in Chicago and, no matter you think of it, it is still a beautiful thing. Touched me deeply.
