New Statesman, Volume 97, Number [Issue] 2505, March 23, 1979

Russell Davies contributes a combined review [of sorts] of Jack's Book by Barry Gifford and Lawrence Lee and of The Third Mind by William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin entitled "The Dharma Bums", pp. 300-400.  The review of The Third Mind is a minor part of the article, superficially dismissed towards the end of the piece, without a mention of the book by "[t]he terrible Burroughs" and the "smirky egotist painter [Gysin]".

Published in London, England by The Statesman & Nation Publishing Company Ltd. in March, 1979.
