Description
Chicago: Chicago Review, 1958. Some light wear and toning at extremities, a few spots on cover, but a very good copy. 8vo. 88 pages. Printed wrappers. Containing chapter two of 'Naked Lunch.' This was the second appearance of any section of the novel in print, following the Spring issue of the journal. For those keeping track, the headline above the text contains the misprint "William C. Burroughs." "The 1958 appearance of a Naked Lunch excerpt in the Chicago Review created a scandal that ended in the resignation of the magazine’s two editors, Irving Rosenthal and Paul Carroll. The controversy was initiated when an editorial review by Chicago Daily News columnist Jack Mabley, appeared under the title 'Filthy Writing on the Midway.' Mabley objected to what he called “'obscene' writing in the University of Chicago’s literary magazine. Published alongside Burroughs in the Chicago Review were Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and other young and unconventional writers of the period" (Columbia University exhibition). Rosenthal went on to write one of the great (woefully unheralded) novels of the era, 'Sheeper,' in which Burroughs and the Beats appear.
