[Rarebooks] FS: Synopsis of Howard Brookner's Documentary on William Burroughs

[Charles Agvent]

[BURROUGHS, William] BROOKNER, Howard. BURROUGHS. A Portrait of William 
S. Burroughs. First Edition. Pictorial wraps, 8-1/2" x 11", with a 
photograph of Burroughs on the cover; 16 pages, stapled in upper left 
corner. A synopsis of Brookner's 1983 documentary BURROUGHS: THE MOVIE, 
the first and only documentary to be made about and with the full 
participation of Burroughs. Includes an introduction, biography of the 
director, list of cast and crew, as well as a detailed synopsis. 
Brookner began shooting the film in 1978 as his senior thesis at NYU 
with the help of classmates and friends Tom DiCillo, who in 1991 would 
make JOHNNY SUEDE starring the unknown Brad Pitt, and Jim Jarmusch, who 
is cited as having instigated the American independent film movement 
with STRANGER THAN PARADISE. Brookner died of AIDS in 1989 and was 
buried on his 35th birthday. Although there is no indication of such, 
this is from the library of Herbert Huncke. Horizontal crease, browning 
along fore-edge of cover page. Very Good. (#019756)        $200
