{"title":"William S. Burroughs","description":"\u003cp\u003eWilliam S.

His cut-up method, developed with Brion Gysin in Paris in the late 1950s, extended writing into collage, film, and sound, and generated a body of printed matter that circulated through little magazines, independent presses, and artist-run networks on both sides of the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublications collected here document Burroughs' work and its reception, including little magazines, artist publications, and printed matter through which his writing entered underground and institutional circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"burroughs-william-arcade-1-william-burroughs-special-1964","title":"William S.
