An Anthology of Forbidden Writings

High Risk

Responding to the challenge of freedom of expression in the arts, this collection of short stories by contemporary American writers explores the boundaries between the licit and the illicit. Contributors include Gary Indiana, William Burroughs, Kathy Acker, John Preston, Wanda Coleman and others.

Describes the making of the film "Naked Lunch," and discusses the cast, special effects, and the literary career of William S. Burroughs, author of the original novel

The Making of Naked Lunch

Everything is Permitted

"This provocative collection of short fiction, essays, and poetry freely delves into forbidden zones of sex and transgressive behavior. The writers and artists featured in High Risk are black, white, and Latino; gay and straight; but they share one strong conviction: that art must be bound only by the limits of the imagination." --
