This 1965 interview from The Paris Review runs the range of Burroughs' stem cells, including:

- - - disgust with Paris / theory of reality as a "constant scanning pattern" / the differences between hallucinogens and opiates  / quitting a smack habit with the help of apomorphine  / why there is no psychological aspect to addiction / "white junk" and the Russian bureaucracy / "junk as image" / experiments with scrapbooks / how he came to stop worrying and love the cut-up / the future is silence / Korzybski and his idea of non-Aristotlean logic / science and art / "biologic" films / the carny world and its charms / the artist as con man / "what we on earth call God is a little tribal god who has made an awful mess" / how the Soviet and American governments are not all that different - - -
