Title
William S. Burroughs' 'The Revised Boy Scout Manual': An Electronic Revolution (Bulletin),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Before the era of fake news and antifascists, William S. Burroughs wrote about preparing for revolution and confronting institutionalized power. In this work, Burroughs parody becomes a set of rationales and instructions for destabilizing the state and overthrowing an oppressive and corrupt government. As with much of Burroughs work, it is hard to say if it is serious or purely satire. The work is funny, horrifying, and eerily prescient, especially concerning the use of language and social media to undermine institutions.The Revised Boy Scout Manual was a work Burroughs revisited many times, but which has never before been published in its complete form. Based primarily on recordings of a performance of the complete piece found in the archives at the OSU libraries, as well as various incomplete versions of the typescript found at Arizona State University and the New York Public Library archives, this lost masterpiece of satiric subversion is finally available in its entirety.
