Burroughs at 110: A Month-Long Celebration

This month will see the 110th anniversary of the birth of William S. Burroughs. To mark this special occasion, Beatdom will publish a number of articles, interviews, and announcements related to this great writer.

Here is our intended schedule for the month…

We will post announcements on our Facebook page but the best way to be alerted is to opt in to web notifications. This should give you a browser alert whenever we post. (You can unsubscribe at any time.) Alternatively, bookmark this page and check back regularly. I’ll update the above dates with live links to each article when they are published. If you have anything you wish to contribute or have any feedback for us regarding our little Burroughsian celebration, please get in touch.
