The Naked Lunch, which Burroughs worked on while living at the Hotel Chelsea is going to be released in a new edition later this year.
The Naked Lunch is being republished, in a new edition by Burrough's biographer Barry Miles and his friend and manager James Grauerholz (the novel was first edited, with famously haphazard haste, by Kerouac, Ginsberg and Ansen in Tangiers). In December, Viking will publish Evil River, a new volume of autobiographical writings by Burroughs. And next month sees the opening at the Riflemaker gallery in London of a three-part exhibition devoted pre-eminently to Burroughs's art. How apt that the gun-loving writer should get a show in what was once an old Georgian gun shop. (Source: The Guardian, August 24, 2005)
