Today's paper:
William S Burroughs' Phantasmic Geography
by Kathryn Hume

and speaking of hashtags (I'm still trying to figure this social media thing out) I'm going to start using #TheIrrealists to mark posts as part of public exchange of how to use #ExperimentalWriting to break up repressive social structures (in the mode of Kathy Acker #KathyAcker & William S. Burroughs #WilliamSBurroughs) ... and others

for more context see the essay by Kathleen Wheeler I posted earlier this week, here it is again

One of my experimental writing & publication projects is #NovaLetters , here's an example of a "deeper cut" which introduces Burroughs' concept of "coordinate points" mentioned in two of his cut-up novels

https://write.as/leadworth/coordinate-points

for fun I'm testing out applying terms from #DoctorWho to Burroughs' Nova concepts. A little for everyone.

This week's book:

Unglued Obscuritarianism

William S. Burroughs born this day in 1914. Happy birthday Bill.
#WilliamSBurroughs

“A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on.”

William S. Burroughs

One time, a friend in boy scouts(!) handed me this book… haven’t looked back since!
Happy birthday to Uncle Bill! VERY much missed these days! #WilliamSBurroughs
