Also included are drafts of unpublished works such as Numero Uno Nu, The Revised Boy Scout Manual, and The Unspeakable Mr. Hart, each of which had portions significantly revised by Burroughs before their inclusion in his published oeuvre. Additionally, there are clippings and source materials (used by Burroughs in his text manipulations) dating from his tenure at the unnamed Beat Hotel at 9 rue Git-le-Coeur in Paris during
the late 1950s-early 1960s. | | | | Repository: | Arizona State University Library. Rare Books and Manuscripts | | | | Subjects: | American literature -- 20th century. | Beat generation. | Authors, American -- 20th century. | | | | Similar Items: | Find Similar Guides |
