Invisibility is of interest.
Burroughs talked about infiltration.
As another version of 'El Hombre Invisible' Burroughs marks a curious
counterpoint to JHP. He chose blending into the crowd, wearing a suit
etcetera to be a more dangerous strategy than that marking himself out from
the crowd adopted by many of his direct contemporaries (Ginsberg to name one
obvious examplar). Of course the George Smiley of junk had his reasons. But
the idea resonates.
Still I find Burroughs' public deconstruction of authorial voice reified by
buckets of authorial presence and shiplaods of indirect testimony through
recordings and films etcetera a fascinating mix and one that it seems JHP is
now, very recently, beginning to invoke.
