Perilous Passage - Wilson, Terry

. .

Résumé :
Perilous Passage is an account of Terry Wilson?s lifetime apprenticeship under the master shamanic practitioner, Brion Gysin, the hidden master of the avant-garde, of whom William Burroughs said, ?He is the only man I respect.? The book focuses on events as they developed just prior to and after Gysin?s death in 1986 and details the extreme psychic `Third Mind? eff ects known as `The Process.? Perilous Passage is a cautionary tale about the uses and abuses of power, a paranoid espionage thriller that includes transcribed audio hallucinations, notes, cutups, interview format, and collaged material. Like Gysin and Burroughs, Wilson treats language itself as a parasitic invader which must be resisted, broken up and reassembled. This book is about how Gysin?s magic was passed on and is being carried into the future.
