Naked London Lunches
A very rare opportunity to join the capital's chronicler of the counterculture BARRY MILES in conversation with historian FRANK RYNNE on the London life of the beat writer WILLIAM BURROUGHS.
London’s posh St James district
is probably not the location most associated with the avant-garde,occult guru; literary genius; dystopian visionary; wife-killer and beatnik junkie William S Burroughs.
But,drawn to the city by love for his boyfriend John Brady, he lived quietly there during the years 1967-1974. And he was pretty busy.
He even carried out a ‘space-time’ disruption on the Soho espresso bar Moka in response to the discourtesy and ‘poisonous cheesecake’ he had received there (successfully apparently, as the cafe subsequently closed)His friends included Christopher Gibbs the "King of Chelsea” and alleged inventor of Swinging London, artists Francis Bacon and Brion Gysin - and the counterculture chronicler BARRY MILES.
Join us for a very special evening when Miles will recall his literary friendship with Burroughs and the characters of the circles they moved in during those strange London days. Miles will be in conversation with historian and music producer FRANK RYNNE upholder of the Burroughs legacy.
The evening will take place during an exhibition of Miles's personal photos and ephemera of Burroughs drawn from the 14 years he lived here and counted Miles amongst his inner circle. Also, check out the associated guided walk of Burroughs London with author Antony Clayton and esoteric researcherDr. William Redwood on Saturday May 26th,
