Need a new source edit
The newspaper link given re: the publishing announcement is no longer active. Can someone provide a more permanent link? 23skidoo (talk) 18:45, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Cover edit
Having the UK first edition cover is fine for now, but as this is an American release, we should try and obtain a US first edition cover. 23skidoo (talk) 16:10, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Addtional source edit
If anyone has a copy of the Bill Morgan book, please feel free to replace the second-hand reference with the original source. Thanks. (That said, it's probably possible to replace it altogether with the Afterword that explains the situation in detail, although Wiki probably prefers at least one additional source.) 23skidoo (talk) 17:22, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Burroughs and Homosexual Panic Defence? edit
In order to get Lucien Carr off with a lighter penalty, William S. Burroughs advocated that Carr used the homosexual panic defence strategy before the courts. As the latter is almost universally condemned today by the LGBT movement for its homophobic assumptions about gay male sexuality, which lead to reduced culpability for severe homophobic violence and homicide, has this been the subject of controversy within the international LGBT community as a result of its publication?

origins of title edit
I saw this documentary where Burroughs confirms himself the title came from the radio broadcast. He makes the statement 23 minutes 40 seconds in. If anyone wants to fix that in the article.
