Playback - The Magic of William S. Burroughs (Paperback, New)

The elusive wild boys, the magical Zimbu, the embattled Johnsons... They are all here in this revised and expanded reincarnation of Ash Journal #2.3. In these pages magicians, poets, and academicians explore the magical dimensions of William Burroughs' mythology for the space age. Contributors examine the magical rituals practiced by the Wild Boy tribes, the revolutionary attempts to break from Control, the radical disruption of gender, Burroughs' relation to Gnosticism and his vision of the Apocalypse.
