The recent documentary about William S. Burroughs, A Man Within, was released on DVD last week, and its distributor, Oscilloscope Labs, sent us a copy to give away to one lucky Rumpus reader!
It’s a fascinating documentary that reveals a more private, sensitive picture of Burroughs than we’re used to. Click through for further details about the DVD and how to enter to win.
This is a reasonably complete picture of what the winner will receive (though I promise not to send the laundry, miscellaneous papers, and half-read books slightly visible in the background — and nota bene, there is no way you’re getting my packing trunk):
The DVD comes in a cardboard slipcase (front and back pictured at far left and right) and folds out once (center, below) and then twice (center, top). Two mini-essays are printed on the foldout itself, by David Byrne and Richard Hell.
