Claude Pélieu's "Infra Noir" (1972)







Paris, France: Le Soleil Noir (book, 1st, limited), 1972.
7" x 5.125" x 0.5", 157 pages, softcover.

Claude Pélieu's Infra Noir, as published by Le Soleil Noir (Paris) in 1972. 1,175 copies printed in a number of forms: (1) 150 copies on Arches with a sculpture; (2) 125 copies offset sirène of which 100 are numbered 1-100 and 25 from I-XXV, signed; (3) 900 copies numbered from 100-1000.

Eric Shoaf in his William S. Burroughs: A Collector's Guide suggests that this contains a William S. Burroughs contribution ("L'Insurrection Invisible Words Falling Photo Falling Breakthru in the Grey Room."  This is not correct. 

That noted, "L'Insurrection Invisible Words Falling Photo Falling Breakthru in the Grey Room" is a poem by Claude Pélieu for William Burroughs, with a title that references both the "Invisible Generation" and Burroughs' Break Through in Grey Room.

This copy is #384/1000.

Shoaf II.93 [incorrectly listed as a Burroughs contribution].
