Biographical Note

William S. previous hitBurroughs next hit (1914-1997), an American writer, is one of the literary figures identified with the Beat movement. A prose-poet, previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit (1855-1898), the inventor of the first recording adding machine and founder of the previous hitBurroughs next hit Adding Machine Company. At Harvard, previous hitBurroughs next hit 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, previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit collection is the 12 linear feet of manuscripts, dating from 1938, including several drafts of a number of previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 Also included are drafts of unpublished works such as Numero Uno Nu, The Revised Boy Scout Manual, and The Unspeakable Mr.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 previous hitBurroughs next hit before their inclusion in his published oeuvre. Additionally, there are clippings and source materials (used by previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit has used extensively. It was also Brion Gysin who wrote the first screenplay adaptation of previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' copies of over 100 magazines containing his work, as well as books by previous hitBurroughs next hit, not to mention translations of same. Further expansions have been made in the audio and video medias with the collection of previous hitBurroughs next hit recorded appearances. Notable among these expansions are Call Me previous hitBurroughs next hit, his first album (released in 1965) Ali's Smile, a companion disc to the 1971 limited edition book, and the Howard Brookner documentary previous hitBurroughs next hit.

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

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

Series I: Archival Boxes is the centerpoint of the previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit has achieved great renown for his advocacy and use of various text manipulation methods, including cut-ups and fold-ins. Additionally, one aspect of previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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.

5-6 Naked Lunch Filmscript and Correspondence [J:531] (11 Folders and Notebooks)
This massive group of manuscript drafts of a filmscript for previous hitBurroughs next hit' novel, The Naked Lunch, consists of some 11 separate portfolios and notebooks, including approximately 100 pp. of previous hitBurroughs next hit' typescript, heavily corrected by both previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit, 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit, Balch and Gysin to make the film, but the project was never realized. Their friend Felicity Mason got involved to give advice. previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit, 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit (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 previous hitBurroughs next hit, and which apparently had previous hitBurroughs next hit' approval (indeed in one of previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' hand.

59 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit from the Hassan hospital, Tangiers, Morocco in 1955 while previous hitBurroughs next hit was recovering from heroin addiction.
This famous MS contains passages which Ginsberg edited with previous hitBurroughs next hit into the final version of the novel The Naked Lunch. Every page bears corrections and additions in previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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, previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit suggest several humorous alternate titles to the novel.
Also contained in this folder are the following: Page 1 numbered "2" with corrections in previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit archive, it is evident that previous hitBurroughs next hit 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, previous hitBurroughs next hit has written in pencil "Letter A, chapter II."
Preserved in the original red legal sized folder with the following note in previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 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."

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. previous hitBurroughs next hit has numbered each of these 9 pp. of text, and has written dates of composition on several of the leaves.

This was previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 unpublished MS is a lengthy outline of a projected academy of advanced studies, which previous hitBurroughs next hit 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.

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 previous hitBurroughs next hit in this MS were later used in The Job. Because the manuscript was so completely political, and non-fictional, previous hitBurroughs next hit considers this a failed MS.

Miscellaneous Cut Ups. 86 pp. typed and carbon MSS, of various cut ups, some with holograph alterations in previous hitBurroughs next hit' hand.

Wild Boys 1st Drafts. 9 pp. legal size typed with drawings and holograph corrections by previous hitBurroughs next hit. First draft typescript of The Wild Boys, resembling the passage on pp. 168-171 of the Grove Press edition of the novel.

About 1500 words.

First one is tan colored with the following written on cover "Hart Episodes. Some unpublished material, Ah Puch is Here".
Contains 5 separate sets. previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' signature underneath, typed mostly in red ink. previous hitBurroughs next hit has also signed 7 of the pp. in the MS. This unpublished novel is textually similar to The Unspeakable Mr. Hart, and constitutes previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit., etc.
5th set contains numerous newspaper clippings and xeroxes used as source material by the author for this novel.

139 G.O.D. [J:513]

The text of G.O.D. constitutes various possible endings for the Ah Pook is Here novel, although it is evident from previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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. previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' novel.
1310 Unspeakable Mr. Hart [J:536]
MS consists of 100 pp. typed, minor textual corrections here and there, signed by previous hitBurroughs next hit on first page. Enclosed in the original tan legal size folder with title written in previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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.

15-18 Clippings [J:555]
Source Material Files and Cut Ups
61 individual folders, filled with previous hitBurroughs next hit' clippings from magazines, newspapers, flyers, books, printouts and thousands of pieces of cut-ups made by previous hitBurroughs next hit from numerous carbon and manuscripts.
All of these materials were used by previous hitBurroughs next hit from 1957-1973 for information contained in his novels and articles. Each of the individual files bears previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' published works.
61 separate files, in 4 boxes, a few large enclosed envelopes containing cut ups from various MSS.

19 Early Routines by William S. previous hitBurroughs next hit [JACKSON 450, 467, 468]
Includes previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit throughout, written by previous hitBurroughs next hit in collaboration with his college friend, Kells Elvins in 1938. This is the earliest surviving previous hitBurroughs next hit manuscript, written when he was 24 years old. previous hitBurroughs next hit has written in his holograph the author of each section of the MS on every page. According to a recent interview with previous hitBurroughs next hit 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." previous hitBurroughs next hit later used the MS in his novel Nova Express in virtually unrevised form. This MS also contains the first appearance of previous hitBurroughs next hit' most famous fictional character, doctor Benway, who later appears in The Naked Lunch. Folded for mailing, and some stains, else fine. Signed by previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit, 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.

20 Drafts and Unpublished Film Manuscript of The Wild Boys by William S. previous hitBurroughs next hit [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. previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit in the final draft of The Wild Boys and which therefore remain unpublished. Preserved in the original maroon legal size folder with note in previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' hand on cover. Folio 35.

21 Original Manuscript of Operation Soft Machine/'Rub Out the Word' by William S. previous hitBurroughs next hit and Brion Gysin [JACKSON 499; Old Number Box 15], 1961, 1963
Item Description: 51
72 pages MS by William previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit in various specifically coded colors, utilizing previous hitBurroughs next hit' own version of Rimbaud's color system. Virtually every page of the MS is signed by previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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).
previous hitBurroughs next hit' plans for an exhibition of this MS never materialized nor has the complete MS ever been published. Although previous hitBurroughs next hit 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.

22 Drafts and Final Manuscript of Exterminator by William S. previous hitBurroughs next hit [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 previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit revised for stories in Exterminator, composed between 1964 and 1966. Preserved in the original red folder with previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit) 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' hand. Conjectural dates of composition from 1966-1970.
Preserved in original red folder with previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit.
Composition of the MS ranges from 1966 to 1972. MS consists of 75 pp. made up by previous hitBurroughs next hit from various earlier typescripts, and in several instances from photocopies of earlier published texts, reworked by previous hitBurroughs next hit with holograph alterations on many pages. previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' hand. The entire MS is contained in the original green folder from Harold Matson agency, and is then re-enclosed in previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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: previous hitBurroughs next hit' own author's copy of Exterminator!, cited by Maynard and Miles in their notes to entry A23a in the previous hitBurroughs next hit 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.

23 First Draft Manuscript of Numero Uno Nu by William S. previous hitBurroughs next hit [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 previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs's next hit hand at the beginning of the manuscript it is indicated that these pages may not exist.
previous hitBurroughs next hit 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.

24A-B Setting Manuscript and Proofs for The Third Mind by William S. previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' unhappiness with the manner in which this very difficult text was being set into type, the entire project was scrapped. previous hitBurroughs next hit 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit' 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 previous hitBurroughs next hit.
