First of all, writers Guy Debord and William Burroughs reinvented appropriation art practice as a means of critiquing retrograde mass media entertainments and reportage.

Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5n73t7nb Author Schottlaender, Brian E.C. Publication Date 2008-12-01 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California ANYTHING BUT ROUTINE: A Selectively Annotated Bibliography of William S. Burroughs v. 1.0 by Brian E. C. Schottlaender The Audrey Geisel University Librarian UC SAN DIEGO LIBRARIES 2008 ii INTRODUCTION The bibliography of William S. Burroughs is as challenging as the man was himself. He wrote voluminously and kaleidoscopically. He rearranged, recycled, and reiterated obsessively. He produced across five decades and four continents. He was a novelist, a poet, an essayist, and a correspondent at home in all media. He never met a ―little magazine‖ or an interviewer he wouldn‘t share with. There have been a few attempts at documenting the range of Burroughs‘ prodigious output over the years—some better than others. I initially conceived of this bibliography as an update of Joe Maynard‘s and Barry Miles‘ definitive William S. Burroughs: A Bibliography, 195373: Unlocking Inspector Lee‘s Word Hoard (University of Virginia, 1978). Readers familiar with Maynard and Miles (referred to herein as M&M) will know that this bibliography differs somewhat from that in scope, as it does in organization and in the kind and quantity of detail in- or excluded. These differences notwithstanding, my hope is that the two will be found to complement one another, to which end I have made a systematic effort to explicitly link the entries in Maynard and Miles to those in my own bibliography when such entries appear in both.

  • The Archontic Spirituality of William S. Burroughs Tommy P. Cowan
    What Most People Would Call Evil: The Archontic Spirituality of William S. Burroughs Tommy P. Cowan 1. Introduction: The Burroughsian Legacy William Seward Burroughs II (1914-1997) could be considered one of the most influential American authors of the twentieth century. His writing influenced figures such as J.G. Ballard, Hunter S. Thompson, Grant Morrison, Alan Moore, Chuck Palahniuk, Nick Land, Terry Southern, Timothy Leary, William Gibson, Robert Anton Wilson, and Hakim Bey, (and even Philip K. Dick to an extent),1 which is to say nothing of his prominent status within the origins and developments of Beat literature. He also influenced numerous musicians such as The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Frank Zappa, Genesis P-Orridge, Kurt Cobain, and Steely Dan;2 his works possibly led to the original popularization of the term “heavy metal,”3 (which only later appeared in music, first used by Hapshash and the Coloured Coat as an homage to Burroughs),4 and his inclusion on the album cover for the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is evidence of the iconic status he had achieved by the mid-1960s. He even made appearances on television, such as reading one of his “routines” on Saturday Night Live in 1981,5 and by 1991 his book Naked Lunch finally became a feature film, written and directed by David Cronenberg. However, what is ostensibly less explored is how immense William Burroughs’ impact on Western esotericism and New Age movements is. For example, Burroughs’ works are critical inspirations for famed esotericists Genesis P-Orridge (1950-) and Hakim Bey, themselves important influences on the 1 See: Mr.

  • A Man Called Burroughs Photographs by Harriet Crowder the Function
    A Man Called Burroughs Photographs by Harriet Crowder The Function Room, London 5–20 February 2015 Catalogue Gateway Drug Oliver Harris Call Me Burroughs called to me at first sight, with its spectral image on the front cover staring out of an inky void of interstellar space, and its back cover with its avant-garde liner notes in French as well as English. And what esoteric French! Jean-Jacques Lebel drops in references to ‘la machine célibataire’ and ‘l’anus solaire,’ as if Duchamp and Bataille were far too familiar to bother naming. As for what was on the inside, Emmet Williams got right to the point of the album: ‘His voice is terrifyingly convincing.’ Hearing it, you realize: Burroughs weaponized fiction. After this, other writers suddenly became just words on paper to me and have remained so ever since. But the call of Burroughs didn’t reach me via the 1965 vinyl album itself. I first heard the siren song and fell in with Burroughs thanks to a couple of bootleg cassette tapes handed to me in 1982. A pair of Perspex boxes with homemade cardboard fillers, they were decorated with halves of a hand-coloured image of Burroughs in glasses, tie, jacket, and trilby hat, taken by François Lagarde in 1978 (left). On the reverse sides of the bisected images were fragments of his 1962 essay ‘The Future of the Novel,’ so that my bootlegged tapes of Call Me Burroughs were, like all his works, a time machine made of cut-up words, images and recorded voice.

  • A Selectively Annotated Bibliography of William S. Burroughs V. 3.0
    I ANYTHING BUT ROUTINE: A Selectively Annotated Bibliography of William S. Burroughs v. 3.0 by Brian E. C. Schottlaender The Audrey Geisel University Librarian UC San Diego Libraries 2012 II PREFACE to v. 3.0 This third edition of Anything but Routine includes an entirely new section, “Video Recordings” (Section F). Not only is Burroughs’ film work with Antony Balch and others well documented in various video formats, but a number of Burroughs’ readings over the years are likewise well documented. Section F represents a first attempt to pull these disparate materials together in one place. In addition, particular attention has been paid in this v. 3.0 to promotional materials, including: • Press Kits • Press Releases • Posters, and • Publishers’ Prospectuses. These can be found in Section G. Quantitatively, v. 3.0 includes 1,127 numbered entries (and hundreds more sub-entries), as compared to the 1,077 entries in v 2.0., an increase of almost 5%. III INTRODUCTION The bibliography of William S. Burroughs is as challenging as the man was himself. He wrote voluminously and kaleidoscopically. He rearranged, recycled, and reiterated obsessively. He produced across five decades and four continents. He was a novelist, a poet, an essayist, and a correspondent at home in all media. He never met a “little magazine” or an interviewer he wouldn’t share with. There have been a few attempts at documenting the range of Burroughs’ prodigious output over the years—some better than others. I initially conceived of this bibliography as an update of Joe Maynard’s and Barry Miles’ definitive William S.
