BIZARRE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This Bizarre underground classic was photographed at the end of the hippy era by Charles Gatewood and included commentary by William S. Burroughs. The photos are seedy, surrealistic, disturbing and thought provoking even without the text. Burroughs' text, however, adds a dimension of examination (and self examination,) drawing one into the scene, giving a sense of attitude and mood. You will not walk away from this book unscathed.

Get ready for the reissue of Charles Gatewood's 1975 classic, Sidetripping! Gatewood was begining to explore the edges in the late 60s and early 70s, lurking alongside any events happening on the city streets: protests, marches, fairs, parades, celebrations. New Orleans and NYC provided moist atmospheres for expression, much of that 'caught' here by Gatewood. While on assignment for Rolling Stone in London, Gatewood got to hang with Burroughs and Gysin. That meeting fruited into Burroughs providing the text. To compliment the images perfectly, read the words in your head using Burroughs distinctive, grating rasp.
