In editor Paul Cecil's note at the beginning of the book he writes, "The pieces that make up this book were prepared for the 'Burroughsday' celebrations that took place at the Phoenix Gallery, Brighton on 5th February 1994, the occasion of the 80th birthday of William S. Burroughs. The event itself in many ways mirrored Burroughs' own approach to literature and art, being a random coming together of discrete connections that were collaged into a 'whole'. Alongside video and soundbites, numerous artists, writers and performers presented their work, some of which is included here." The book's contributors include Burroughs himself, Paul Cecil, Robert Hill, Catherine Lupton, Genesis P-Orridge, Naomi Riches, Simon Strong, and Caspar Williams. Also includes Splinter-test (on cut-ups) by Genesis P-Orridge.
