Overview

Following the recent deaths of Gregory Corso and Sinclair Beiles, Terry Wilson is arguably the last remaining beat-collaborator who had exclusive access to movement figureheads William Burroughs and fellow-collaborator, beat-writer, and experimental artist: Brion Gysin. Having long since recognised the importance of his currently out-of-print work Here To Go - a series of exclusive interviews with Gysin, who was responsible for the Cut-Up method of writing, conceived the Dreamachine, wrote The Process and The Last Museum, and worked on the experimental films of Anthony Balch - Creation Books are now proud to present this seminal document as part of their publishing programme. Complete with a brand new introduction, over 60 illustrations, and material that was excluded from the original work, Gysin's personal insights and observations are interwoven with photographs and texts, including a rare excerpt from the Gysin-penned original Naked Lunch screenplay. Complemented by a preface and additional texts by William Burroughs, Here To Go is a unique document of the life, work and philosophy of Brion Gysin, perhaps the most neglected, yet most visionary polymath of the 20th century. With an introduction and additional texts by William S Burroughs.

Reviews

He's the only man I've ever respected in my life. I've admired people, I've liked them, but Brion Gysin was the only man I've ever respected. - William S.Burroughs 'Highly recommended to those who live for infinite possibilities.' - High Times 'Arguably one of the 20th century's most neglected artists, this book is an attempt to redress the balance and give voice to one of the leading voices of his generation. Time will tell but this could be one of the most important books on the meaning and theory of modern art that has been published.' - Home Cookin' 'Wilson has been out there, and brought back evidence.' - Time Out

Author Information

Terry Wilson has published two novels 'D' Train ('Take the D-train for a mind-bending mega trip into interior space. D for Desire' Perhaps, but this is no streetcar to the suburbs of the spirit and back. This D-train rushes through a long night of the soul past Danger and Despair to come in ultimate Delight. This is not a package tour but a guide for travellers off the beaten track.' - Brion Gysin) and Dreams of Green Base. It was the completion of the latter work that led to Wilson's initial meeting with Burroughs and Gysin in 1971. He currently lives in London, England.
