Greek Clippings and Notes [J:539], 1973
Scope and Contents
This file is supposed to, but does not, contain the dream notes
.
9 pages of notes in Burroughs' holograph of dreams during Burroughs' visit to Greece in August 1973. Also included in the file are two typed pages of dream notes made during the visit with Alan Ansen in Greece. Alan Ansen, a close friend of Burroughs, was given a number of manuscripts of Burroughs in the late 1950's in Venice, Italy. Ansen wrote Burroughs from Greece in Summer 1973, advising him that he had discovered these manuscripts which both authors had forgotten about among his papers, offering to return them to Burroughs. Burroughs then flew to Greece in the early autumn 1973, to recover his manuscripts. All of the manuscripts which Burroughs left with Ansen in Venice are present in this archive. And this file contains Burroughs' dream notes while recovering his manuscript.
Entirely unpublished. Also present at the back of the file are Burroughs' cut up clippings from newspaper at the time. Preserved in the original light blue legal-sized folder with Burroughs' note in pencil on the front cover.
