Talk:The Word Hoard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article lacks valid sources; although, it makes several mentions that "Burroughs said this" type quotes. The article seems to be contrary to the facts laid out by James Grauerholz's Introduction in Interzone. There is also claims that Kerouc and Ginsberg 'edited' Burroughs' writing, at the very least that is an exagerration. Kerouc helped type Naked Lunch, and gave the author the title, but that is not the same thing as editing. If this Word Hoard existed, as stated, there must be a source that can be used to verify the claims made here. --Mikerussell 04:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


(About the Nova trilogy): "The books were composed from Bill's ´Word Hoard`, the huge pile of manuscripts, notes and routines left over from Naked Lunch which he assidously cut up."
