With Revolvers Aimed... Finger Bowls by Claude Pélieu, translated by Mary Beach and published by Beach Books with distribution by City Lights Books (San Francisco, California, US.) in 1967. A Cut-Up novel, more poetry than prose.
William S. Burroughs "presents" this book with "Two Counterscripts by William S. Burroughs", pp. i-iv.
Burroughs is a clear influence in this work, which mixes in phrases from his works, and Burroughs himself is mentioned at page 77 ["W.S. Burroughs interlaces his Naked Sequences with complete freedom, between this & this, risks all, & organized Demolition Plan 23"]
An apparent quote from Burroughs is at page 79 ["Under the sun./ Will Hollywood never learn? Unimaginable/ Disaster Teenage Future Time./ W.S. Burroughs"
