Sixty years ago, a 20-year old Iain Sinclair, then studying in Dublin, Ireland, received a surprise submission for Albatross, a fledgling literary magazine he and two friends had started. This trio of ambitious editors sent out requests for new work to literary heroes of the day: Djuna Barnes, Paul Bowles, Jane Bowles, Jean Genet, Ezra Pound, et al. Only one replied: William S. Burroughs of Tangier, Morocco . . .

This edition aims to recreate a more accurate version of the three column/three row 'experiment' Mr Burroughs submitted.
