As noted on the back cover, this film "interweaves footage from his public readings including The Western Lands, experimental films in which he appears, his paintings, and an extensive interview with writer Jürgen Ploog. In their wide-ranging conversation, Burroughs talks about language and other weapons, his theory of the word as virus, the function of dreams, travel in time and space, and about ways of living and dying."
This copy is faded but unopened, still in its original shrink-wrap.
