Reading for August 7th: William Burroughs and the Language of Control

Turnip here. Next time, let’s look at some of the techniques William S. Burroughs suggests for resisting the Word-God. We’ll read three selections from The Job: “Playback from Eden to Watergate” (pp. 11-20), “The Invisible Generation” (pp. 160-174) and “Electronic Revolution 1970-71” (pp. 174-203). If you’re unfamiliar with the cut-up method, you might also do pp. 27-top of 30. May be that we scramble on the spot if folks want to go there. Stay attentive, graduates of Academy 23.
