The Burroughs-Warhol Connection revolves around four meetings between William S. Burroughs and Andy Warhol in 1980. Its author, Victor Bockris, was a friend and collaborator of both men and attempted to bring them together for a series of interviews. The results were comical, absurd, and brilliant. The two never quite seemed capable of connecting, yet somehow a bond was formed and they came to like and respect one another.
Bockris has collected the interviews he recorded-which are punctuated by visits from Mick Jagger, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Debbie Harry, and other luminaries-mixed them with excerpts from his journals, and gathered one hundred photographs and collages. There are also reflective essays from Bockris and Jed Birmingham. The book is a collage, a cut-up, a constellation. It is a vital and beautiful document of the connection (and missed connections) between two of the most important minds of the last century. It also features a long, brilliant interview with Bockris conducted by Leon Horton (a frequent contributor to Beatdom and editor of the recently published Ten Times a Poet).
