3, 4, 5 December, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Beyond Baroque 40th Anniversary Event: WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS & THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF NAKED LUNCH
BB (on 681 Venice Blvd. in Venice) celebrates the 50th anniversary of Naked Lunch, William S. Burroughs' revolutionary text and founding force for beats, punks, electronica, no wave, cyberpunk, and beyond. Thursday is a wide-ranging riff on Burroughs, Friday a public discussion exploring this influence, and culminating Saturday in a marathon reading of Naked Lunch (FOR WHICH I WILL BE ONE OF THE READERS AT 2PM). Acclaimed for its innovative construction, satire, and shocking contents, Naked Lunch takes inner space traveler William Lee through Chicago, New York City, Tangier, Morocco and points beyond the beyond, exploding text and unravelling the repressions of American society.
