Time, Volume 80, Number 22, November 30, 1962
Includes "King of the YADS", a particularly mean-spirited review generally of The Naked Lunch and specifically, personally, of Burroughs. This prompted Burroughs, from England where he was living, to sue Time for libel, filing a suit in March 1963. Burroughs won a paltry five pounds and five shillings in the judgment, and was prohibited by court from reading an open statement that he had prepared. This article includes a fine photo of Burroughs by Nicolas Tikhomiroff.
Published in New York City by Time, Inc. in November, 1962.
Note that this issue's cover was employed in the cover of the book Time by Burroughs and Gysin in 1965, a bit of a middle-finger back to the magazine and the review.
