Link to December 7 boingboing post, "Mark Dery on Naked Lunch's 50th Anniversary".Excerpt: This year marks the 50th anniversary of Naked Lunch, William S. Burroughs's weird, challenging, creepy, funny, cut-up trek through the Interzone. To celebrate, Grove Press published a new hardcover, slipcased edition of the book: Naked Lunch: 50th Anniversary Edition. This edition presents the original restored text of the novel and and Brion Gysin's original cover art that appeared on the first Olympia Press printing. Over at the Las Vegas Weekly, Mark Dery pays his respects to the mugwumps among us.
An edition of Naked Lunch is owned by the following 7 LINK libraries: Madison Central (4 copies, tho 1 is lost), Pinney Branch, Sequoya Branch (2 copies), Monona, Oregon, Stoughton, and Sun Prairie. LINK is a consortium of 49 public libraries.
Hmm, just a few copies in the reality zone but none outside of Dane County.
