Myself seen by William Burroughs, my new-bought Kodak Retina from Bowery hock-shop in his hand, our apartment … Lower East Side between Avenues B & C, …. Kerouac, Corso and Alan Ansen visited, The Subterraneans records much of the scene, Burroughs & I worked editing manuscripts he’d sent me as letters from Mexico & South America, the neighborhood heavily Polish & Ukrainian, some artists, junkies & medical students, rent only 1/4 of my $120 monthly wage as newspaper copyboy. Fall 1953.
