Contact, [Issue 2,] August 1970
Burroughs and Alexander Trocchi edit the column “MOB”, pp. 26-27. This is noted as by William S. Burroughs in Shoaf and Schottlaender, but I have reservations, informed by the note that this is “The Hen’s Convention or thoughts of bare-man Lao” by Alexander Trocchi in its sub-title. It is not unlikely that Burroughs contributed to this, but I feel the work is mostly Trocchi’s. There are also advertisements for The Last Words of Dutch Schultz and The Job by William S. Burroughs on the inside front cover. This was published in London, England by Hermonwood Ltd. in August 1970. This copy was acquired from Third Mind Books (Ann Arbor, Michigan, US).
