Biographical Note

William S. Burroughs  (1914-1997), an American writer, is one of the literary figures identified with the Beat movement. A prose-poet, Burroughs  is known as an experimental innovator of forms (such as the "cut-up" technique), unique narrative techniques and moods in his writings. He is the grandson of William Burroughs  (1855-1898), the inventor of the first recording adding machine and founder of the Burroughs  Adding Machine Company. At Harvard, Burroughs  studied literature, linguistics, and anthropology. Later, in the process of drifting through odd jobs in New York City, he became a drug addict. From the late 1940's to 1973, Burroughs  lived in Mexico, Tangiers, London, and Paris, returning briefly to New York in 1965. In 1981 he moved to Lawrence, Kansas where he died August 3, 1997 at the age of 83.

Scope and Content Note

The core of the Burroughs  collection is the 12 linear feet of manuscripts, dating from 1938, including several drafts of a number of Burroughs ' major works including The Soft Machine, Ah Pook Is Here, and The Wild Boys. Also included are drafts of unpublished works such as Numero Uno Nu, The Revised Boy Scout Manual, and The Unspeakable Mr. Hart, each of which had portions significantly revised by Burroughs  before their inclusion in his published oeuvre. Additionally, there are clippings and source materials (used by Burroughs  in his text manipulations) dating from his tenure at the unnamed Beat Hotel at 9 rue Git-le-Coeur in Paris during the late 1950s-early 1960s. It was at the Beat Hotel that Brion Gysin stumbled across the text manipulation technique called cut-up, which Burroughs  has used extensively. It was also Brion Gysin who wrote the first screenplay adaptation of Burroughs ' Naked Lunch, present in this collection in Gysin's holograph. There are also over seventy other small manuscripts and fragments in this collection as well as two volumes of dream notes.

Arizona State University continues to expand the collection, primarily by adding to Burroughs ' copies of over 100 magazines containing his work, as well as books by Burroughs , not to mention translations of same. Further expansions have been made in the audio and video medias with the collection of Burroughs  recorded appearances. Notable among these expansions are Call Me Burroughs , his first album (released in 1965) Ali's Smile, a companion disc to the 1971 limited edition book, and the Howard Brookner documentary Burroughs .

An additional concern addressed by this collection is the immediate circle of writers around Burroughs  such as the aforementioned Gysin, Jack Kerouac, Jeff Nuttall, Paul Bowles, Alan Ansen, William S. Burroughs  Jr., Carl Weissner, and Mary Beach. Each of the above authors is represented, either in the Burroughs  ephemeral section or in the Special Collection stacks.

This archive is the largest Burroughs  collection publicly available. It continues to grow as ASU's commitment to Burroughs , not to mention Burroughs ' own proclivity, brings in dozens of items annually.

Series I: Archival Boxes is the centerpoint of the Burroughs  archives and houses a number of Burrough's own working files, down to his handwritten titles and cover collages. Within the files are manuscript pages (published and unpublished), photographs, cut-ups, drawings, correspondence from fans, publishers, family and collaborators, as well as film scripts and other associated materials. A note regarding the identification of manuscript pages: William Burroughs  has achieved great renown for his advocacy and use of various text manipulation methods, including cut-ups and fold-ins. Additionally, one aspect of Burroughs ' style is the repetition of words and phrases, recontextualized and slightly altered. These factors render the identification of unlabeled manuscript pages problematic at best. Identification is further complicated by Burroughs ' penchant for using his own text as well as others' in these manipulations. Thus, specific identification, including whether a piece has been published, should not be thought of as definitive.

Also included in the file are two typed pages of dream notes made during the visit with Alan Ansen in Greece. Alan Ansen, a close friend of Burroughs , was given a number of manuscripts of Burroughs  in the late 1950's in Venice, Italy. Ansen wrote Burroughs  from Greece in Summer 1973, advising him that he had discovered these manuscripts which both authors had forgotten about among his papers, offering to return them to Burroughs . Burroughs  then flew to Greece in the early autumn 1973, to recover his manuscripts. All of the manuscripts which Burroughs  left with Ansen in Venice are present in this archive. And this file contains Burroughs ' dream notes while recovering his manuscript.

					7pp. typed first draft of the manuscript, with numerous corrections and alterations to the text in the author's hand, on nearly every page. Signed by Burroughs  on first leaf. 9pp. typed, revised second draft with many holograph changes to the MS in Burroughs  hand throughout. Burroughs  has written "2nd draft" at the top of the first leaf, and has made alterations to nearly every sentence of the first couple of pages of MS.

Envelope containing over 30 cut ups from carbons of the first and second drafts, with note in Burroughs ' hand on envelope: "Cut ups "Smell Brain"." 2pp. holograph night dream notes for September 12th and 13th 1973 relating dreams which led up to "Smell Brain Story". 9pp. typed dream notes, expanded and fictionalized versions of the holograph night dream notes for the two nights preceding composition of "Smell Brain".

Although Burroughs  has written on the front cover of the red folder "Layouts from original 3rd Mind, Diaries, Last Word of Dutch Schultz," none of the texts present in this folio seem to resemble either the first or last mentioned texts.

Some holograph corrections to the texts, and most columns marked off by Burroughs  in various colored inks. The multiple column writing style which Burroughs  experimented with and them ultimately abandoned is evident in the complete text of Apo-33. Altogether about 10,000 words.

4	3		Gnauoa File [J:500]
					This file contains three separate manuscripts which were published in slightly different textual versions by Ira Cohen in his literary journal Gnauoa in 1962. Also included in the file is a letter from Burroughs  dated April 8, 1963 to Ira Cohen in which Burroughs  offers these manuscripts for Cohen's magazine, signed in full, and folded for mailing. There is also a second shorter letter dated March 5, 1963 in which Burroughs  mentions that Harold Norse suggested that he contact Cohen regarding Gnauoa.
					The three manuscripts present in this file include:
					"Pry yourself loose and listen": 2 legal-sized pages typed in red ribbon heavily corrected by Burroughs  in blue ink. Published in Gnauoa, and later used in a radically different version in the novel Nova Express.
					"Ancient face gone out": 4 legal-sized pages, typed, approximately 900 words, misnumbered by the author 2-5 although the text is complete as stands. Also published in Gnauoa and later rewritten for Nova Express.
					"Just so long and long enough": 2 legal-sized pages typed with corrections. This prose poem is actually written by Billy Burroughs , Jr., William Burroughs ' son, composed in Tangier, Morocco while he was visiting his father. This is the earliest known manuscript by Wm. Burroughs , Jr. and remains unpublished in the present manuscript version. The MS was later published in 1967 in Great Society Magazine (Maynard and Miles, C168) under William Burroughs ' name in a cut up version by Burroughs  Sr. Great Society Magazine was also edited by Ira Cohen, hence its presence in this file.
					All manuscripts folded for mailing and showing some signs of wear.

One of a very few xeroxes made by Burroughs  of the 195 pp. typescript, sent out to friends for comments and suggestions before the book was submitted to Cape Goliard for publication. Original MS is in the Vaduz, Lichtenstein archive, and is listed as folio #35 in that archive catalogue.
					Preserved in original red folder.

5-6			Naked Lunch Filmscript and Correspondence [J:531] (11 Folders and Notebooks)
					This massive group of manuscript drafts of a filmscript for Burroughs ' novel, The Naked Lunch, consists of some 11 separate portfolios and notebooks, including approximately 100 pp. of Burroughs ' typescript, heavily corrected by both Burroughs  and Brion Gysin, as well as literally thousands of pages of MS inn Brion Gysin's holograph and typescript of various drafts for the film project.
					During the period in the early 70s when Antony Balch, Brion Gysin and William Burroughs , who first met at the Beat Hotel on the rue Gi Le Coeur, Paris, all had apartments at 17 Duke Street, Saint James, London, a great deal of time and energy was spent on producing a treatment for Naked Lunch. Balch had originally filmed Burroughs  and Gysin in Towers Open Fire (filmed in 1961-1963 at the Beat Hotel in Paris) and Cut Ups (filmed in 1964-1967, in Tangier, Paris, London and the Hotel Chelsea, New York).
					The idea for making a film of The Naked Lunch was initiated by Burroughs  and Gysin in 1971, and most of the manuscript materials in these files date from 1971-1972 in London. The film, for a variety of reasons, was never produced, and therefore ALL the materials contained in these massive files remain unpublished.
					A company called Friendly Films was set up, owned by Burroughs , Balch and Gysin to make the film, but the project was never realized. Their friend Felicity Mason got involved to give advice. Burroughs  moved from London to New York City where Balch ran errands for him, dealt with his ex-boyfriends, etc. Brion Gysin wrote the film-script, with the considerable involvement of Burroughs , and on the basis of this, Antony Balch produced a set of storyboards which are in the Antony Balch Collection offered for sale Water Row Books, in 1990.
					The storyboards consisted of four volumes, each 14" x 12", containing drawings of every scene in the film, with details of panning and zooms and other action. The drawings are in color, done in felt-tip pen, and mostly feature William Burroughs  himself as the main character of the story.
					Included among the ASU Burrough's Collection materials are a letter from Anthony Balch to Brion Gysin, October 12, 1973, all of Burroughs ' letters to Brion Gysin about the project, all of Gysin's replies (all in Gysin's holograph), together with an 80,000 word first draft screenplay by Burroughs  (typed) with literally thousands of corrections and emendations in both authors' hands.
					Gysin's 75,000-85,000 word second draft manuscript of the screenplay, which entirely revised the sequence of events in the original novel by Burroughs , and which apparently had Burroughs ' approval (indeed in one of Burroughs ' letters to Gysin, he claims that he has discovered a better ending for this landmark novel, through his work on the filmscript, and he intends to adopt this ending in some future publication of The Naked Lunch).
					Two files containing about 600 pp. of combined typescript and xeroxes of earlier drafts of the typescript, with numerous holograph alterations mostly in Gysin's hand, but with comments and suggestions in Burroughs ' hand.
					In Box 6: Three large ring binder notebooks, each containing some 125-150 pp. of typescript and xeroxes of earlier versions of the manuscript, one bearing massive corrections in Gysin's and Burroughs ' hands.
					Various other portfolios with other drafts, notes, correspondence regarding the project, manuscript drafts of prospectuses for the film, advertisement manuscript copy, and so forth.
					Altogether this group of files amounts to well over 175,000-200,000 words, entirely unpublished, and reveals a complete collaborative effort between Burroughs  and his closest friend and fellow novelist, Brion Gysin. The Naked Lunch filmscript remains a project close to Burrough's heart, one which he would like to see produced, and this group of manuscript files is the only (and complete) extant record of the project. An extraordinarily important group of manuscripts. All in the original folders and binders, each individually marked with notes in Burroughs ' hand.

5	9		Naked Lunch Letters: [J:471/474]: Allen Ginsberg
					Pp. 1-2, 4-9 of a letter dated October 20, 1955 to Allen Ginsberg written by Burroughs  from the Hassan hospital, Tangiers, Morocco in 1955 while Burroughs  was recovering from heroin addiction.
					This famous MS contains passages which Ginsberg edited with Burroughs  into the final version of the novel The Naked Lunch. Every page bears corrections and additions in Burroughs ' holograph. Page 9 contains synopsis of The Naked Lunch, which at the time was tentatively titled Ignorant Armies. In this synopsis, which is very different from the arrangement of chapters in The Naked Lunch, Burroughs  outlines the plot of the entire novel dividing it into 6 chapters. With the help of Ginsberg the novel was entirely restructured for publication by the Olympia Press four years later. In other parts of the letter Burroughs  discusses his method of composition and his reasons for writing the novel:
					"I am trying, like Klee to create something that will have a life of its own, that can put me in real danger, a danger which I willingly take on myself. I find I cannot write without endless parenthesis. A parenthesis indicates the simulateaty [sic] of past, present and emergent future. I exist in the present moment. I can't and won't pretend I am dead. This novel is not posthumous. A 'novel' is something finished, that is dead." On page 4 of letter Burroughs  suggest several humorous alternate titles to the novel.
					Also contained in this folder are the following: Page 1 numbered "2" with corrections in Burroughs ' hand, from a letter to Ginsberg, about 1954, which appears to be a dream routine, later adopted into The Naked Lunch; single leaf typed on one side and written in holograph on the other, dated January 6, 1955, Tangier, discussing work-in progress, i.e., The Naked Lunch, and his problems writing the book; 2 pages discussing MS of The Naked Lunch, with corrections.
					Since parts of the text of these letters lapse into quasi-hallucinatory narrative, and because the letters are present in this Burroughs  archive, it is evident that Burroughs  considered a number of passages contained in the letters to be too important to his novel to send the letters to Ginsberg. In fact, at the top of the first page, Burroughs  has written in pencil "Letter A, chapter II."
					Preserved in the original red legal sized folder with the following note in Burroughs ' hand in ink on the front cover: "Letters to Allen Ginsberg dated 1954-55-56. Containing first drafts for Naked Lunch together with unpublished material."
					A highly important collection. Unpublished in this form. Folio 1.

					The Wild Boys film project, as outlined by Burroughs  in the introductions, was an attempt, with the help of Terry Southern, to make Burroughs ' novel into a film. The project was a failure: "In the spring of 1972 while I was in New York trying to sell The Naked Lunch film script I saw a number of hard core porn films including Fred Halsted's LA Plays Itself and Sex Garage. This gave me the idea for shooting The Wild Boys as a hard core porn film. I met with Fred Halsted and discussed the idea with and gave him a copy of The Wild Boys ... I then discussed the project with Terry Southern and we considered working together on the script ... during the summer of 1972 Fred Halsted came to London and we discussed a number of alternative scripts. I finally decided the whole idea was impracticable both from a financial standpoint and from a standpoint of making a good film within our budget."
					Also included in this file are carbon copies of Burroughs ' letters to Terry Southern and Fred Halsted regarding the project. At the end of the file, the clippings for showtime of Fred Halsted's film in Time Square cut out of the New York Times, May 1972, are laid in.

					This file contains a copy of Apo-33 (San Francisco, City Lights, 1964) with 10 original carbons of the make-ready typescript, which have all the text on every page in unsuppressed and unobliterated state. Burroughs  has numbered each of these 9 pp. of text, and has written dates of composition on several of the leaves. The reason these make-ready leaves are important is because just before publication, the publishers marked out a number of passages which were considered either libellous or which might result in suppression of the entire book (as happened with the true first edition of this book, published by Fuck-You Press a year earlier, and suppressed.) This was Burroughs ' own copy of Apo-33 which he retained with what is the only extant set of carbons from the original TS, and which has the unsuppressed text.
					This copy of Apo-33 is laid into a file which contains 6 pp. of early drafts and related manuscripts materials by Burroughs  which are unpublished as well as a 9 pp. photostats of the final manuscript with notes and corrections of typos throughout in Burroughs ' hand.

None of the materials present in this cut-up manuscript appear to have been adapted for any other of Burroughs ' writings and all of it is unpublished.
					Preserved in the original light blue folder with title on front cover in the author's hand.

Burroughs  has stated in many interviews that 70% of his seminal ideas for fiction come from notes he makes during the night after awakening from dreams.

Box	Item
10	1		Academy Prospectus [J:537]
					Preserved in original salmon (orange) colored legal size folder with note in Burroughs ' hand, signed with initials on front cover: "two copies each page W.S.B. 1st drafts and copy material for academy prospectus." A highly important and eccentric manuscript.
					1. Loose 23 page prospectus typed MS signed in several places by the author, written in 1973. This unpublished MS is a lengthy outline of a projected academy of advanced studies, which Burroughs  hoped to see established in Europe. The academy would primarily concern itself with research regarding "the altering of consciousness". Programs which would be adopted by the academy are described at considerable length in the prospectus and include meditation, yoga, sound experiments, light experiments, film experiments, sensory depravation chambers, use of Reich's Orgone Accumulators, pyramids, and psychotronic generators, as well as dream experiments. Of course, for a host of reasons the academy was never founded. Nevertheless, this unpublished manuscript provides a unique insight into the Burroughsian societal ideal.
					2. In large original envelope addressed to Richard Aaron, Esq., is a second 21 pp. set of photostats of the Academy Prospectus with a hand-written cover ALS from Burroughs  to a friend presenting him with the prospectus and stating "Here is prospectus for the Academy. I think we have enough serious projects here for a start". Back of envelope has drawings and reminders to Burroughs  re: Brions medicine, Cleaners, Schraepell.
					3. In a large original envelope addressed to Brion Gysin is yet another copy of the Academy Prospectus. This copy has a typed cover letter from Wm. Burroughs  to Brion Gysin presenting him with the prospectus. Also enclosed are association articles. Folio 23.
10	2		Revised Boy Scout Manual [J:504/505], 1963-1970
					Unpublished MS, suppressed by the author, contained in two files. (See Item 3)
					This eccentric "Manual" contains instructions to the underground concerning subversive activities, home-made weapons, de-centralization of all governmental agencies, and essentially essays methods for anarchists activities.
					The materials in these files included in the MS are entirely unpublished in this version, though some of the ideas developed by Burroughs  in this MS were later used in The Job. Because the manuscript was so completely political, and non-fictional, Burroughs  considers this a failed MS. See also Unspeakable Mr. Hart/Ah Pook is Here MS - which are related politically.
					In original legal-size tan folder with note in Burrough's hand on front cover "William Burroughs  Revised Boy Scout Manual (Typed Transcript of Tape)."
					In front of file are 43 pp. photocopy of a circular entitled "The Revised Boy-Scout Manual/Bulletin 23/Revolutionary Weapons and Tactics" which is signed by Burroughs .
					This bulletin, apparently not typed by Burroughs  himself, but corrected throughout by him, was one of a number of copies circulated by Burroughs  among close friends. The text was transcribed from a tape of Burroughs . Not mentioned in Maynard and Miles.
					At the end of the portfolio is Burroughs ' own copy of the very rare Sigma Portfolio, containing the "MOB Statement" which is largely extracted from this Boy Scout Manual. Burroughs  has crossed out the preliminary material in the Sigma Portfolio (Maynard and Miles, C284) and has made some notes.
10	3		Revised Boy Scout Manual [J:504/505], 1963-1970
					Unpublished MS, suppressed by the author, contained in two files. (See Introduction to Item 2.)
					Item 3 is in original letter-size maroon folder with note in Burrough's hand on front cover "Scout Manual & Ah Pook first drafts with unpublished material (valuable)"
					At beginning of folder the MS consists of 57 typed pp., signed and dated by Burroughs  on first leaf "Thursday, Seal Point, 12, 1970." Altogether about 17,500 words, typed mostly with a red ribbon, corrections throughout in the author's hand, though mostly clean since Burroughs  never intended for this material to be published.
					At end of folder contains 11 pp. typed, with author's corrections, has miscellaneous drafts of materials which Burroughs  was developing for both the Scout Manual and Ah Pook.
10	4		Miscellaneous Cut-Ups and Materials: Lancaster Gate Period [J:498], 1961-1963
					This file preserved in original tan legal-size folder with notes on front cover in Burroughs ' hand. Interesting early materials, largely unpublished.
					Folder contains a number of published and unpublished drafts of various manuscripts written by Burroughs  in London, primarily form 1961-1963. Included in the file are the following individual pieces:
					The Photo Collage. 20 pp. typed and holograph MS, unpublished. Except for the first 2 pp. this manuscript is typed and written on legal size sheets, and bears numerous corrections and alterations in Burroughs ' hand. Several pages are quite heavily corrected. The Photo Collage, approximately 7000 words was written in London in 1963.
					Miscellaneous Cut Ups. 86 pp. typed and carbon MSS, of various cut ups, some with holograph alterations in Burroughs ' hand. This enormous group of routines and rejected pieces, amounting to over 35,000 words altogether, consists of materials which were rewritten and seem to have been adapted for use in the Academy Bulletin, The Carsons Family and Nova Express. Certainly, for the most part all of these manuscripts are unpublished as they stand.
					Wild Boys 1st Drafts. 9 pp. legal size typed with drawings and holograph corrections by Burroughs . First draft typescript of The Wild Boys, resembling the passage on pp. 168-171 of the Grove Press edition of the novel. It is evident from the MS materials present here that this passage was originally envisioned as a routine or short story by Burroughs , and then later changed for inclusion in the novel. About 1500 words.

Box	Folder
13	1-6		Scientology [J:514/519]
					First six folders. These extremely personal and important folders contain the only surviving manuscript materials which relate to Burroughs ' 1967-1978 period as a student of Scientology in London.
					Burroughs  spent one month at East Grinstead, outside London, at the Scientology Headquarters, as a personal student of L. Ron Hubbard. The various events which led to Burroughs ' rejection of the Scientology Movement, and to his expulsion from East Grinstead, are outlined completely in Burroughs ' expose, Ali's Smile: Naked Scientology. Most of the Mayfair magazine contributions made by Burroughs  from January 1968 through October 1968 relate directly to materials contained in these files. For further information about Burroughs ' study of Scientology, see Maynard and Miles C187, C255 and C276.
13	1		Virus B-23. Dr. Lee's Notes and Audrey's Diary Charting Audrey's Case. Scientology File Connection [J:514]
					This original green letter-size file folder has the above title written in ink in author's hand.
					Contains a complete holograph notebook, titled "Scientology Notes" signed by Burroughs , and filled with his notes taken at meetings in London with Scientology teachers. 33 pp. entirely in holograph, with numerous drawings, and what appears to be a dream note in the back.
					Of course, Dr. Lee and Audrey are both Burroughs  himself, Audrey being the childhood Burroughs  and Dr. Lee more or less representing the "Bull Lee" character of Burroughs , in Jack Kerouac's On the Road: the older, experimenting Burroughs .
					Also at the back of the file are 4 legal size Auditor's Report Forms, entirely filled out in Burroughs ' hand, containing some highly personal materials. Other Scientology pamphlets laid in.
13	2		Scientology [J:515]
					Original light blue folder, with title transcribed as above, in Burroughs ' hand on front cover.
					Contains 4 letters written to Burroughs  from friends, while Burroughs  was staying at East Grinstead as a student.
					Printed materials relating to scientology.
13	3		Scientology [J:516]
					Original maroon folder with title transcribed as above, in Burroughs ' hand on front cover.
					Contains 3 letters and corrected xerox typescript of Burroughs ' article about Scientology. One of the letters is from publisher Maurice Girodias of Olympia Press.
13	4		Scientology [J:517]
					Original green folder with title transcribed as above, in Burroughs ' hand on front cover.
					Contains 2 carbons of letters from Burroughs  to Rolling Stone regarding Mr. Sorrell's protests to Burroughs ' expose in that magazine about Scientology. Other printed materials laid in.
13	5		Auditing [J:518]
					Original maroon folder with title transcribed as above, in Burroughs ' hand on front cover.
					52 pp of highly personal audit of Burroughs  made on 17 October 1972 by a Scientologist, the entire manuscript is in Scientology shorthand, with numerous notes throughout regarding Burroughs ' psychological makeup. This audit was stolen by Burroughs  from the classified files of the Scientology Church headquarters in London, while Burroughs  was on janitorial duty (see "Ali's Smile" for all details).
					Also 6 pages of typed and holograph printed materials also present in the file.
13	6		W.B. RE - F. H. [J:519]
					Original maroon folder with title transcribed as above, in Burroughs ' hand on front cover.
					63 pp. holograph audit of Burroughs  taken on 10 January, 1973, with 2 typed pp of notes and interpretations by Burroughs  regarding the audit. More of a table-of-contents.
					This audit delves into Burroughs ' relationship with Ian Sommerville, with whom Burroughs  wrote several articles and books. Again, highly personal, unpublished (and probably unpublishable) materials.
13	7		Open Letter to Mister Gordon Mustain, 1970
					Original 9 pp. carbon typed sheets with holograph notations and corrections by Burroughs  re: Scientology. Along with stamped envelope from Burroughs  to Los Angeles Free Press, returned to Burroughs  for "address unknown".
					Letter is dated April 22, 1970. Was published in East Village Other 5, no. 31, 3, 25. New York, July 7, 1970. [C286]
13	8		Ah Pook is Here [J:512]
					Consists of 2 original files in this folder. Fine condition, entirely unpublished novel.
					First one is tan colored with the following written on cover "Hart Episodes. Some unpublished material, Ah Puch is Here".
					Contains 5 separate sets. Burroughs  variously spells the name of the protagonist of the novel, Ah Pook and Au Puch.
					First set starts with red ink title: Ah Puch was here. Unpublished novel consisting of some 68 pp. typed, with heavy corrections and additions in Burroughs ' hand throughout the entire MS, amounting to hundreds and hundreds of changes. 4 pp. are entirely in the author's holograph, and there are graphs or drawings on the verso of a couple of pages. Altogether about 20,000 words. 1967-1972.
					2nd set starts with black ink title: The Unspeakable Mr. Hart, with Burroughs ' signature underneath, typed mostly in red ink. Burroughs  has also signed 7 of the pp. in the MS. This unpublished novel is textually similar to The Unspeakable Mr. Hart, and constitutes Burroughs ' second failed attempt to fictionalize the themes surveyed in The Revised Boy Scout Manual.
					3rd set starts with pencil written "Ah Puch." And under it "Hiroshima...1945...August 6...23 Seconds Before 8 a.m." Consists of 47 pages of photocopied MS.
					4th set is 5 pp. of typed cut-ups."Sons of Your In" words of Rimbaud, by Corso and Burroughs ., etc.
					5th set contains numerous newspaper clippings and xeroxes used as source material by the author for this novel.
					Second file is original blue folder and is marked in the author's hand on the font cover "Ah Pook duplicates". Contains 12 pp. of various rejected passages from the novel is present.
13	9		G.O.D. [J:513]
					Preserved in the original light blue legal size folder with notes and title written in pencil by Burroughs  on front cover: "G.O.D. first drafts and cut up for end of Ah Pook is Here and "Smell Brain"." Fine, unpublished. Ref. Ah Pook is Here MS.
					The text of G.O.D. constitutes various possible endings for the Ah Pook is Here novel, although it is evident from Burroughs ' notes on the front cover of the file that this MS could also be the beginning of another, obviously abandoned, work. Laid into the back of this file is an envelope of typed cut-ups, approximately 500 words altogether. Burroughs  has made many corrections to this MS, and all the materials containing herein are entirely unpublished. Careful editing of this text together with Ah Pook will probably eventually constitute a publishable Burroughs ' novel.
13	10		Unspeakable Mr. Hart [J:536]
					MS consists of 100 pp. typed, minor textual corrections here and there, signed by Burroughs  on first page. Enclosed in the original tan legal size folder with title written in Burroughs ' hand on front cover in pencil and ink.
					Altogether about 22,000 words. Although the text is marred by many false stops and starts, it certainly could be edited for publication.
					This large, unpublished MS novel represents Burroughs ' attempt to fictionalize theories and topics discussed in The Revised Boy Scout Manual. (See Box 8) Much of the material resembles themes and nuances ultimately developed in Burroughs ' novel The Wild Boys, and in some respects The Unspeakable Mr. Hart is the very first draft of what was to become The Wild Boys. Mr. Hart was actually offered for publication to Straight Arrow Press, New York, in 1972, and accepted for publication but due to financial reasons the book was never produced.
Box
14			Photographs [J:554]
					Preserved in the original tan folder with flap, marked in Burroughs ' hand: "Drawing of friends, personal letters &." File does not contain any letters.
					Included in the collection are 28 separate envelope folders each individually marked by Burroughs , containing some 500 unpublished photographs of (and mostly) by Burroughs . The photographs are all in fine condition, and were taken in London, New York, Tangier, Paris, Geneva, Greece and elsewhere. Each individual envelope is noted in Burroughs ' hand as to where and when the photographs were shot.
					Also in this file is a published photograph of Burroughs  and Brion Gysin, taken by Francois Lagarde and published by Am Here Books. This photograph is one of the only 50 numbered copies, signed by Burroughs  and gysin, and is entitled "Le Colloque de Tanger." Photo measures 12.5 " x 9.5 ".

15-18			Clippings [J:555]
					Source Material Files and Cut Ups
					61 individual folders, filled with Burroughs ' clippings from magazines, newspapers, flyers, books, printouts and thousands of pieces of cut-ups made by Burroughs  from numerous carbon and manuscripts.
					All of these materials were used by Burroughs  from 1957-1973 for information contained in his novels and articles. Each of the individual files bears Burroughs ' notes in holograph on the front cover, indicating exactly what the materials contained in each folder was used for, and in most cases which book or article the source materials were gathered for. Where possible, folder titles in boxes 15 through 17 have been taken from these titles.
					These files contain literally thousands upon thousands of materials, some of which are marked by the author, and all of which have some bearing on the major portion of his work. The reputation that Burroughs  gained in the 1950's as being purposely haphazard in his writing methods (primarily because of the manner in which The Naked Lunch was composed, passages at the time, and then thrown on the floor, only later to be gathered together by Allen Ginsberg and reassembled with Burroughs ' help for publication) is completely controverted by these extraordinary files.
					Undoubtedly, the materials contained in these files, which have never been examined by any scholars and which the author kept for some 16 years with him wherever he was living and writing, will reveal a good deal of scholarly information regarding sources for the better part of Burroughs ' published works.
					61 separate files, in 4 boxes, a few large enclosed envelopes containing cut ups from various MSS.

Series II: Blue Slipcased Materials
Box
19			Early Routines by William S. Burroughs  [JACKSON 450, 467, 468]
					Includes Burroughs ' earliest surviving manuscript, "Twilight's Last Gleamings" which was written in 1938 with Kells Elvins. However, most of the manuscripts date from 1950-1957. Hem Descriptions 2-9, 14-28.
					[450] "Twilight's Last Gleamings": 6 page typescript with a number of holograph corrections by Burroughs  throughout, written by Burroughs  in collaboration with his college friend, Kells Elvins in 1938. This is the earliest surviving Burroughs  manuscript, written when he was 24 years old. Burroughs  has written in his holograph the author of each section of the MS on every page. According to a recent interview with Burroughs  in Rolling Stone's College Papers (Fall 1979 issue) the manuscript was submitted to Esquire and was rejected by the magazine because the contents of the manuscript were "too screwy and not effectively so for us." Burroughs  later used the MS in his novel Nova Express in virtually unrevised form. This MS also contains the first appearance of Burroughs ' most famous fictional character, doctor Benway, who later appears in The Naked Lunch. Folded for mailing, and some stains, else fine. Signed by Burroughs  on first leaf. Preserved in Early Routines Slipcase.
					[467] "Chumu Skit": 2 pp. routine typescript, written primarily in The Naked Lunch style, with title written at top of both pages in holograph. Signed by Burroughs , with numerous holograph corrections throughout, about 500 words. Unpublished. Probably written 1955-1956.
					[468]: Also a 2 pp. carbon of "Chumu Skit" with different holograph corrections. Additional pieces of material.
Box
20			Drafts and Unpublished Film Manuscript of The Wild Boys by William S. Burroughs  [JACKSON 523, 526, 503], 1965
					Item Descriptions: 55, 75, 78.
					[523/525]: The Wild Boys (4 Files)
					The first file contains the most important materials. This file contains the complete extant first drafts (1968-1972) of various passages from The Wild Boys. The MS consists of 92 pp. typed drafts, many of which bear extensive additions and alterations in the author's hand in various colored inks, as well as several holograph pages. Because this entire MS is typed with an elite machine and is almost completely single-spaced, we estimate that it contains well over 175,000 words. Burroughs  has signed various opening pages throughout the drafts and has also indicated which passages were ultimately used in the 1971 Grove Press edition of the novel. The subject matter in The Wild Boys may be seen as the final and successful extension of ideas originally essayed in The Revised Boy Scout Manual MS, The Unspeakable Mr. Hart MS, and Ah Pook is Here MS, all of which are contained in this archive.
					This massive MS contains lengthy sections that were discarded by Burroughs  in the final draft of The Wild Boys and which therefore remain unpublished. Preserved in the original maroon legal size folder with note in Burroughs ' hand in ink on front covers: "Wild Boy Overflow".
					Enclosed together with Wild Boy Film Ideas portfolio in cloth slipcase with Morocco label.
					Second file. "Unpublished materials from Wild Boys also layouts and first drafts ... old duplicates." 14 pp of miscellaneous drafts of passages from The Wild Boys, mostly carbons. Notes in the author's hand on orange file cover. Folio 22A.
					Third file. "Wild Boys Hard Core Porn Movie and Chinese Bongsae Film Idea ... Distinct file." 26 pp. various sizes with a few holograph corrections, mostly carbon cut ups. Entirely unpublished material preserved in the original red folder with notes on front cover in the author's hand. Folio 22.
					Fourth file. "Wild Boys Film Notes Valuable." This file contains numerous clippings and several pages of typed notes regarding The Wild Boys and used as source material for the film. Preserved in red folder with note in Burroughs ' hand on cover. Folio 35.
Box
21			Original Manuscript of Operation Soft Machine/'Rub Out the Word' by William S. Burroughs  and Brion Gysin [JACKSON 499; Old Number Box 15], 1961, 1963
					Item Description: 51
					72 pages MS by William Burroughs  and Brion Gysin signed by both of them on title page of the MS, executed in 1961-1963, and intended for display in an art museum. This extraordinary and seminal MS is typed and written by Burroughs  in various specifically coded colors, utilizing Burroughs ' own version of Rimbaud's color system. Virtually every page of the MS is signed by Burroughs  in full (probably because the authors originally intended for each page of this MS to be individually framed, and placed on public display in linear sequence). Brion Gysin has illustrated 12 of the MS pages in colored pencils, watercolors and pen & ink, and has also rewritten a number of the cut up Burroughs  texts in his own holograph. Gysin has also signed many of the pages. Among the many famous Burroughsian "catch phrases" contained in this important MS are "Rub out the word," "I am that I am," and"Therefore I think I am." These phrases are mathematically rearranged in all possible patterns. In this way, this MS becomes central to Burroughs ' early 1960's linguistic technique called both "The Cut-up Method" and"The Fold-In Method." For an excellent discussion of the Cut Up Method, see Tony Tanner's City of Words (New York: Harper & Row, 1971, Chapter 5, "Rub Out the Word," pp. 109-140).
					Burroughs ' plans for an exhibition of this MS never materialized nor has the complete MS ever been published. Although Burroughs  has subsequently altered the writing method displayed in the Operation Soft Machine MS, public display of the MS should certainly be promoted.
					MS is in fine condition with all leaves individually preserved in slip-out plastic folders, and the whole enclosed in cloth slipcase with morocco leather.
Box
22			Drafts and Final Manuscript of Exterminator by William S. Burroughs  [JACKSON 507,509, 510; Old Number Box 16], 1966-1973
					Item Descriptions: 59, 61, 62.
					[507] Exterminator First Draft and Source Materials
					Remarkable file contains 40 pp. typed with massive holograph corrections virtually on every page, of the earliest drafts of various sections from Exterminator. The file breaks down into roughly seven sections, and Burroughs  has signed the first pages of each of these stories or passages. The texts of each of these stories vary considerably from the final published versions of the text, produced in the Viking 1973 version of the book, and in several instances the connections between the texts of these early drafts differ so radically as to nearly constitute entirely unconnected stories (though the characters' names tend to bind the materials together thematically if not narratively).
					Nearly 10,000 words of early drafts, and related routines that Burroughs  revised for stories in Exterminator, composed between 1964 and 1966. Preserved in the original red folder with Burroughs ' title for the file written in ink in his hand on front cover, with a photograph of a wolf standing over a carcass pasted (evidently by Burroughs ) onto the cover as a decoration.
					Published, but in revised form. Preserved together with other Exterminator files in cloth slipcase with morocco label.
					[509] Drafts Exterminator and Port of Saints
					File contains 45 pp. of various early drafts of Exterminator and Port of Saints, as well as some miscellaneous drafts from The Wild Boys. 3 pp. in holograph, the remainder in typescript and carbon. Quite a number of photocopied pages are also in the folder, some bearing editorial marks in Burroughs ' hand. Conjectural dates of composition from 1966-1970.
					Preserved in original red folder with Burroughs ' title for the file written in ink on front cover. Most of the materials in this folder were published in slightly altered form. About 4000 words altogether.
					[510] The Exterminator
					The complete MS of this entire book, published by the Viking Press in 1973 (Maynard and Miles A23a). This was the actual copy sent by Burroughs  to his literary agents in New York, Harold Matson Company, who then forwarded the manuscript to Viking for publication: Viking's first publication of any book by Burroughs .
					Composition of the MS ranges from 1966 to 1972. MS consists of 75 pp. made up by Burroughs  from various earlier typescripts, and in several instances from photocopies of earlier published texts, reworked by Burroughs  with holograph alterations on many pages. Burroughs ' original title-page is also present, giving the rejected subtitle for the book "A Statement of American Policy" as is the 2 pp. typed table of contents for the book, bearing a number of minor changes in Burroughs ' hand. The entire MS is contained in the original green folder from Harold Matson agency, and is then re-enclosed in Burroughs ' legal size orange folder with the title of the book written on front cover in an unknown (Miles'?) hand.
					A second file containing copies of various parts of the MS is present. This file is marked on the front cover in the author's hand and initialled "Exterminator copies 2 copies of each W.S.B."
					Very fine, published. Note: Burroughs ' own author's copy of Exterminator!, cited by Maynard and Miles in their notes to entry A23a in the Burroughs  bibliography, bound in the original three-quarter leather, is present in this collection.
					Preserved in slipcase with morocco label, together with drafts of Exterminator and Port of Saints and Exterminator first drafts and source material files.
Box
23			First Draft Manuscript of Numero Uno Nu by William S. Burroughs  [JACKSON 545; Old Number Box 17], 1972
					[545]
					The original first draft manuscript, 190 pages, of Numero Uno Nu, an unpublished novel, which was entirely rewritten by Burroughs  and published in totally different form in London, 1973, by Covent Gardens Press, in an edition of 200 copies. The MS consists of 156 carbon TS pages most with holograph additions and alterations in Burroughs ' hand. 34 pages are present in xerox from a later version (i.e., from the Port of Saints MS).
					Pages 35, 91 and 99 in the numbering of the manuscript are missing, but in a note in Burroughs's  hand at the beginning of the manuscript it is indicated that these pages may not exist.
					Burroughs  has signed the first page of the MS and has numbered every page in pencil. This first draft is radically different from the published version of Port of Saints, and has many alternate passages.
					Contained in the original legal-size red folder with title written in magic marker on front cover in the author's hand, and signed by him. Folder shows some wear, else fine. This is the only extant version of the novel, and differs so completely from reworked and retitled version as to constitute an unpublished novel. Unpublished in this version. Enclosed with Folio 15b in slipcase with morocco label.
					Also a second file containing 28 pp. of miscellaneous carbon drafts form Port of Saints, approximately 3500 words. Partially unpublished.
					Preserved in the original red legal-sized folder with title in author's hand on front cover in ink.
					Folio 15 & 16.

24A-B			Setting Manuscript and Proofs for The Third Mind by William S. Burroughs  Brion Gysin (Unpublished Grove Press Edition, 1965) [JACKSON 508; Old Number Box 18]
					Item Description: 60
					[508]
					A fascinating file of unique materials and manuscript drafts of the original version of The Third Mind. This novel by Burroughs  and Brion Gysin was completed in 1964 and was submitted and accepted for publication by Grove Press. Grove began setting the type and preparing the layouts and dust-jacket for the book, but, for financial reasons, as well as complications due to Burroughs ' unhappiness with the manner in which this very difficult text was being set into type, the entire project was scrapped. Burroughs  asked Grove to send him everything regarding the project at the printers', and what they sent him is all present in this file.
					Included in the file are three separate color proofs of dust-jacket designs for the book, with notes in the designer's hand making alterations. The complete set of original typeset veloxes, each sheet measuring 15" x 12", is present: amounting to over 750 pages, each with numerous annotations and suggestions about typographical alterations in the printer's and various editor's hands. Approximately 50 transparencies with type to be cut into the text are present, as well as several dozen proof pulls on proofing paper from various sections of the book.
					In a separate light red folder, with note in Brion Gysin's hand on front cover, the complete set of original photostats of the entire mock-up MS is present, amounting to over 200 pp. with about 10 pp. in original typescript. There are a number of holograph proposals and alterations in various (probably editorial) hands on a number of these mock-up pages.
					A unique and enormous file. The Third Mind was finally published by Viking Press in 1978, with the text changed from this abandoned original publication. Of considerable scholarly interest, this is the only instance in Burroughs ' writing career that full-length manuscript was accepted for publication and completely set up in type, announced for publication by the publishers, and then abandoned and suppressed due to financial problems and differences between the publishers and Burroughs .
