BRION GYSIN – HERE TO GO

Here To Go is Terry Wilson’s classic book of interviews with Brion Gysin, the artist, writer and long-term collaborator of William Burroughs. Gysin, whose published books include The Process and The Last Museum, developed the revolutionary Cut-Up method of writing, conceived the Dreamachine, and worked on the experimental films of Antony Balch as well as exhibiting his art worldwide. Subjects covered include magick, sound/word cut-ups, painting/photography/film, psychic warfare, control systems, literature and drugs; plus a rare extract from Gysin’s original screenplay for Naked Lunch. With many illustrations, Here To Go comprehensively documents the life, work and philosophy of one of the 20th century’s most neglected, yet visionary polymaths-one of the few artists who can genuinely be described as “modern”.
