This is a memoir of a form – a book of essays by Jeffrey Bartlett in which William S. Burroughs and other Beat writers weave in and out of his own recollections and experiences. This includes discussion of William S. Burroughs Naked Lunch and other works and exploration of his thoughts on control.

This somewhat stained copy was acquired from Jeffrey Weinberg at Water Row Books.
