Burroughs in Beatdom

Let’s end our month-long celebration of all things Burroughsian with a look at how Beatdom has contributed to Burroughs Studies over the past 17 years.

Firstly, we’ve published a number of books about Burroughs, including Scientologist! William S. Burroughs and the ‘Weird Cult’ and Burroughs and Scotland. (Here’s a full list of our books.)

We also have The Burroughs-Warhol Connection by Victor Bockris, which will be published later this year. (Subscribe to our e-mail updates and/or Facebook page for a release date.)

Burroughs has understandably popped up in almost every issue of Beatdom (see a list of them here) and we have featured him dozens of times on our website. Here are some of the best articles, essays, and interviews about him:

• On the So-Called Burroughs Millions
• An Interview with Casey Rae
• Burroughs as Botanist
• Billy Burroughs: Gentleman Farmer
• A Collection of Chinese Burroughs Book Covers
• Allegories from the Cave: Burroughs and Trocchi
• 5 Books about Burroughs
