Recollections of My Nonexistence by Rebecca Solnit, a book of essays and personal recollections published by Viking Press (New York City) in 2020. From the inside leaf, in this book, Solnit "describes how she came to recognize that her own experiences of harassment and menace were inseparable from the systemic problem of who has a voice, or rather who is heard and respected and who is silenced – and how she was galvanized to use her own voice for change."

In the first section of the chapter "Diving Into the Wreck", Burroughs is mentioned, noting his misogynist statements and the shooting of his (second) wife Joan Vollmer, and describing an interaction with Burroughs at a birthday party hosted for him in February 1984, hosted by Survival Research Laboratories in San Francisco.
