Scope and Contents
Topic deals with the work of Burroughs and Gysin. This bok is stored in the Burroughs box.Internet: William Burroughs and Brion Gysin blazed a trail of wild experimentation across the Twentieth Century. Their Cut Up Method changed the course of modern fiction and had a profound effect on film and rock music. Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Genesis P Orridge, and Patti Smith are just some of their musical disciples. Their obsession with the wild heretical actions of Hassan I Sabbah bear witness to their truly rebellious nature. Their love of the Joujouka panic music was total. They challenged conventional notions of morality and paid no attention to the rules of society. This is the only study of the artistic collaborations between these two good friends. It was written by me, Frank Rynne, and Terry Wilson. Frank and I met Terry at a Notting Hill Arts Gallery early in 1992 - by the end of the year we were exhibiting Gysin, Hamri, and Burroughs paintings at the Project Arts Gallery in Dublin and holding copies of Man from Nowhere in our hands.In addition to a text by the three of us, and loads of previously unseen photographs of Burroughs and Gysin, it contains specially written texts by Iggy, Burroughs, Paul Bowles, Marianne Faithfull, John Giorno, Hamri, Bill Laswell, Ira Cohen, and Anne Waldeman,Burroughs wrote us an Introduction in which he said, "Brion Gysin said that he had asked for not being. Request denied. He was called to play the most difficult of all roles, that which only he could play." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
