Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. This is a pastiche of TIME magazine concocted by the two co-creators of the cut-up (amoung many other radical innovations). Full of errors in spite of the colophon's proclamation that it 'contains no typographical errors'. TIME had written a poor review of Burroughs' 'The Naked Lunch', and had erroneously claimed that the writer had cut of his finger in order to avoid being drafted into the US army. Contains several pages of Brion Gysin's iconic calligraphic works, as well as numerous type-set reels of Burroughs' prose. This copy is in exceptionally Fine condition, is signed by both Burroughs and Gysin, and is number 28 from the edition of 100 which were signed and numbered (the full run was 1000). Signed by Author(s).

In-4°, legatura in brossura editoriale illustrata in b/n, con spilla metallica; pp. non numerate (32). Questo falso della rivista 'Time', inventato dai due autori, è la risposta ad un articolo pubblicato sulla celeberrima rivista, dove si dava una pessima recensione di 'The Naked Lunch', e si affermava falsamente che lo scrittore si fosse tagliato un dito per evitare di essere arruolato nell'esercito statunitense. Le prime e ultime pagine riproducono testi dattiloscritti di Burroughs; il vero e proprio cut-up della rivista occupa le pagine dalla 6 in avanti; i grafismi di Gysin sono nelle pagine centrali; a p. 22 è invece un esempio di scrittura automatica. Tiratura di 1000 esemplari (di cui 114 fuori commercio). Copia in ottimo stato di conservazione, salvo una leggerissima brunitura del margine della brossura adiacente al dorso e della quarta di copertina; e leggere abrasioni alla costola.

Saddle-stitched printed wrappers. The fourth title from Berrigan's C Press, Time, is in part Burroughs' response to "the libelous review of Naked Lunch [Time Magazine, Nov. 30, 1962] called 'King of the YADS' (Young American Disaffiliates), in which it was claimed that Burroughs had cut off a finger to avoid the draft. By transforming this supreme organ of control Burroughs was aiming at the jugular" (Miles 435). Ron Padgett, editor for the edition, relates, "Burroughs' original manuscript was so faintly typed that the printer (a very helpful gentleman named Mr. Dymm at Fleetwood Letter Service) said it would not be legible in an offset edition." In order to solve the problem, the editor created a facsimile of Burroughs' manuscript. He rented a typewriter (with the same font as Burroughs') and then acquired "a fresh (used) copy of the issue of Time ('Transatlantic Edition,' it called itself) he had used as the basis for his manuscript." "It was a lot of work, and I became rather obsessed with creating a perfect replica, but I enjoyed doing it. Burroughs was pleased with the result, but, given his characteristic reserve, he didn't gush. Throughout the project he was cordial, polite, somewhat old-fashioned in his formal good manners. Brion Gysin was equally polite but a bit warmer in his demeanor." (Email from Ron Padgett.) The first edition comprises 1000 copies: 886 in a trade edition; 100 numbered and signed; 10 lettered AJ, hardbound, with original manuscript page by Burroughs and original drawing by Gysin, signed; and four hardcover numbered copies hors commerce with original manuscript page by Burroughs and original drawing by Gysin, signed. This is from the printing of 100 copies, numbered and signed. Fine.
