A 1975 program produced by Charles Ruas at WBAI-FM in New York. It contains readings by author William S. Burroughs, a fascinating discussion led by Allen Ginsberg with Burroughs, courageous publisher Maurice Girodias of Olympia Press, James Grauerholz, and Carl Solomon discussing censorship and the battles to publish Naked Lunch, Lady Chatterly's Lover, works by Henry Miller, Genet, and much more. Background on the novel's birth and life with these characters is provided by the remarkable Felicity Mason (aka Anne Cumming), the professed "adoptive" sister of Brion Gysin.
