An original William S. Burroughs typescript, personally gifted by Burroughs to Richard E. Dillon in Boulder, Colorado, in the late 1970s. Titled Untitled Sysyphysusanoid, the enigmatic text evokes a distinctly Sisyphean cycle of pursuit, destruction, ascent and return.
Remarkably, Burroughs presented the typescript enclosed within a copy of Albert Camus’s Le Mythe de Sisyphe (The Myth of Sisyphus), creating a compelling association between Burroughs’s text and Camus’s meditation on the absurd.
Accompanied by the original Camus volume and Dillon’s signed 2021 letter documenting the gift and his personal encounters with Burroughs during the 1970s and 1980s. Authenticated.
