  • Thank you for posting this.

  • The most important book ever written.

  • gracias infinitas

  • Burroughs comments the book was written and published in Paris. The manuscript in Tangiers was nothing like the one in Paris.

  • Not sleeping til I finish these.

  • Is the music Bill Frisell? Really sounds so. Best, Sandemose

  • Love the Subsonic Prologue

  • @yumyum97 I'm not surprised at all. Burroughs was a thoroughly American writer, and his language is drawn from street culture, beatniks, junkies and queers, each with their own idiomatic expressions that permeate the book. Combined with Burroughs' neologisms and bizarre imagery, I can hardly believe it's written in English!

  • should be mandatory in schools. not being flippant or facetious either.

  • I read the book in french and just doesn't understand a fuckin, thing. Not because the language, but because I think it's an abstract book, untranslatable.

  • Isn't this Burroughs with Kurt Cobain doing the ambience?

  • @radiationtherapyband nah your thinking of the priest they called him

  • Where is this from? a vinyl? cassette tape?

  • I feel high just watching it.

  • WOA! WHAT A FIND! Whoever posted this I love you! I can't wait to hear Bill voice Dr. Benway
