Archives Malanga, Volume [Issue] 4, 2011

High-gloss volume dedicated to the works (photography, poetry, and other writing of Gerard Malanga.  

William Burroughs photographed by Gerard Malanga is on the cover and throughout the issue. An interview between Gerard Malanga and William S. Burroughs from July 21st, 1974 is at pages 18, 20-28, 30 – this interview appeared in German in RADAR, issues 1 and 2. 

This publication was printed in a 1st "special" edition of 100 copies, of which this copy is #70. 

Published in the US by Dagon James / Key Press in 2011.

A copy of the true first printing, not numbered, is also in the archive. This has a variant cover image. This first printing is quite rare apparently, as 350 copies (of each issue) were produced, but the majority of copies were destroyed in a storage flood. 

This copy was acquired from The Waverly Press (or, Key Press) publisher Dagon James, along with the rest of the issues and a set of Andy Warhol/Factory postcards with images by Gerard Malanga.

These copies are maintained with the full runs of Archives Malanga (four issues of the numbered special printing, four issues of the first printing)
