The collection reflects new information that has surfaced since a major collection of the author’s archive was made public by the New York Public Library in 2010. Archival materials, typescripts and collages by Burroughs, are interspersed throughout the collection.
The editors Joan Hawkins and Alex Wermer-Colan are both well-known experts on Burroughs. Each organized conference events in honor of 100th anniversary of William S. Burroughs’ birth
