Description
Interzone occupies a strange and important place in the Burroughs canon—material written between Junky and Naked Lunch, but only assembled and published decades later. Edited by James Grauerholz, it pulls together fragments, routines, letters, and the long-lost “WORD” section, giving readers a rare look at Burroughs mid-mutation—right as he’s shedding conventional narrative and moving toward the cut-up techniques that would define him.
What makes this book land isn’t just the scholarship—it’s the feeling that you’re inside the workshop. You can see the voice forming, breaking apart, reassembling. The humor is still there, the control is still there—but something looser, stranger, and more dangerous is pushing through. For Burroughs collectors, this is less a companion volume than a missing piece. First printings in this condition don’t come up so often anymore, especially without the usual remainder marks.
A key Burroughs title in collectible condition—don’t wait on this one.
