The film held up better than I remembered. I saw it a few months ago for the first time since it was out in theaters. I’ll probably read the book again some day.
I’m not sure what to make of “The Revised Boy Scout Manual.” There was an excerpt in ReSearch #4/5 which includes a bit about Deadly Orgone Radiation. Is that a tactic? A warning? Both? The further along I get through it (I hadn’t read it in about 28 years) there does not seem to be any clear line between what Burroughs advocates and what he warns against. But that’s Burroughs for you, that ol’ misogynist misanthrope. (@anon86154871 fairly much beat me to it – I think it has to do with me being farther and farther away from being this guy.)
