BURROUGHS, William. The Last Words of Dutch Schultz. London: Cape Goliard. 1970. Small 4to. First edition. Softcover wraps. A very good copy, bumped and creased around the spine head and tail, some light marks, else a clean and bright copy.
An enigmatic screenplay by Burroughs intended to be read and never produced. Dutch Schultz, the infamous New York 20s and 30s mobster, was shot while taking a pee in a Newark diner. On his deathbed came strange stream-of-consciousness phrases and sentences dictated to police officers who transcribed. It was the kind of material a writer of Burroughs’ ability and vision could render.
