William Burroughs' London - Westminster Reference Library


I went to the exhibition curated by X-Ray Audio's Stephen Coates and Paul Heartfield with Barry Miles, about William Burroughs in London. It was very small, just one sectioned-off part of the library, but there were some great photos, such as this one of him smiling, impishly! Plus the obligatory gun play...



Photos by Miles, 1972, 'taken after an evening of whisky drinking at 8 Duke St, St James's'

...the best parts were undoubtedly the two vitrines, filled with small photos and ephemera...so have a browse...

 





...finally, this great portrait...
