This is not the full book, with "joselito", "lazarus go home", and "campus of interzone university" not represented, and other sections excerpted. This audiobook was also released as a cassette set.
This specific copy of the CD set is signed by musician Wayne Horvitz, who recorded the score for Burroughs's spoken word in his home studio in Seattle, partly in response to the recording of Burroughs' text brought to Seattle by James Grauerholz, and partly in improvisation, later paired with text. Apparently, Gus Van Sant visited the recording session. This copy was signed during a visit by Wayne Horvitz to perform at The Grocery Studios (Seattle, Washington, US).
