Here you go.. http://revistasamuel.uol.com.br/conteudo/view/19902/Versao_da_samuel_para_android_e_ipad_ja_disponivel.shtml In related news, do- watch this lecture by the journalist & artist Jacob Appelbaum from Transmediale 2014 (don't miss Poitras, Binney, or Paglen either): http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ndx0eox0Lkg Happy Birthday William Seward Burroughs "Don't let them see us, don't tell them what we are doing! "Are these the words of the all powerful boards and syndicates of the earth?": http://rr.www.cistron.nl/his/nothing.htm The Last Words of Hassan Sabbah - www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5LHom219cU From the album "Nothing Here Now but the Recordings" (Industrial Records, 1981) “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” ― William S. Burroughs

MICRO INTERVIEW IN THREE QUESTIONS, WITH BIBLIOGRAPHER, AUTHOR & FOUNDER OF SUICIDE PRESS.


I. You are right that people's quotes from Burroughs tend to be tired, overused &/or become cliche- what are some of your more unheard of Burroughs Quotes???

Michael Stevens: I have three for you,"Only those for whom the knowledge is intended will find it."

"Watch what everyone else is doing and don't do it."

"To speak is to lie."


II. You & Burroughs exchanged letters & then eventually met.. What was your first impression of Burroughs?

Michael Stevens: We exchanged letters concerning the Stendhal Syndrome, & then out of the blue he told me how to get rid of a headache by using acupressure on your pinky finger... My first impression? I don't really know how I felt, I was overwhelmed.


III. Where can we find your amazing book?

Michael Stevens: SUICIDEPRESS.COM


THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES MICHAEL.
