William Burroughs in 1983. (Creative Commons photo, source.)
I don't actually think I'm going to link to all of Michael Johnson''s Substack newsletters if he keeps up his writing pace, but many of them are of interest to RAW fans! The newest one, for example, "Perception, Editing, Cut-Ups: A Glancing Take," looks at rapid shifts in film editing, to the cut-up prose technique popularized by William Burroughs, to RAW's use of the technique. Including in the post is a long, interesting letter from RAW to Kurt Smith that I don't remember seeing before. The comments also are interesting.
