Jack Sargeant's Naked Lens: Beat Cinema, originally published in 1997 [shown below with the Jack Kerouac cover] by Creation Books (London), and printed again in 2001 but with different covers [shown above with the Naked Lunch cover]. A later edition was published by Soft Skull Press (Berkeley, CA.) in 2008 [with images of Allen Ginsberg from Wholly Communion on the cover].  A rich exploration of the intersections between "Beat" authors and film.

This contains a number of sections (mostly in the second part of the book "The War Universe of William S. Burroughs") that are heavily centered on William S. Burroughs:

• Chapter 10: "Image Hoard", pp. 169-196, which discusses the collaborations between Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Antony Balch, and Ian Sommerville. This also includes interviews with Brion Gysin and Genesis (Breyer) P-Orridge. [Note: the later 2008 edition also includes a section on Antony Balch's Guerilla Conditions.]
• Chapter 11: "Cut-Up/Burroughs/Punk/Cut-Up", pp. 197-210, which is framed by Klaus Maeck and his 1984-released film Decoder, in which Burroughs appears.
• Chapter 12: "David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch", pp. 211-217, which discusses the Cronenberg adaptation of Burroughs Naked Lunch.
  

There is also a brief mention of Burroughs in the section on the film Chappaqua, on page 153.

Multiple images of Burroughs appear throughout the book.
