Let’s end our month-long celebration of all things Burroughsian with a look at how Beatdom has contributed to Burroughs Studies over the past 17 years.

Firstly, we’ve published a number of books about Burroughs, including Scientologist! William S. Burroughs and the ‘Weird Cult’ and Burroughs and Scotland. (Here’s a full list of our books.)

We also have The Burroughs-Warhol Connection by Victor Bockris, which will be published later this year. (Subscribe to our e-mail updates and/or Facebook page for a release date.)

Burroughs has understandably popped up in almost every issue of Beatdom (see a list of them here) and we have featured him dozens of times on our website. Here are some of the best articles, essays, and interviews about him:

David S. Wills

David S. Wills is the founder and editor of Beatdom literary journal and the author of books about William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Hunter S. Thompson. His most recent book is a study of the 6 Gallery reading. He occasionally lectures and can most frequently be found writing on Substack.
