Reading by William S. Burroughs

Description:

Western Front hosted an evening with William S. Burroughs at the Vancouver Opera Society, located at 111 Dunsmuir Street. His hour-long presentation included a screening of his short films, and a reading that included texts that were later published in his novel Cities of the Red Night (1981). Following the reading, Burroughs took questions from the audience and discussed his cut-up technique.

Curated by Gerry Gilbert.
