Das ist drin im Sammelband: Junkie (der Tatsachenroman über die Subkultur der Süchtigen, Ganoven, Nutten und U-Bahn-Diebe im New York der 40er Jahre) enthält auch die bisher in allen Ausgaben gestrichenen Teile, dazu ein Vorwort von Alan Ginsberg zur Entstehungsgeschichte des Romans. Vieles, was Burroughs zustande brachte, war so neu, dass es, ungeachtet der literarischen Reputation, kein Verlag bringen wollte: In der amerikanischen Erstausgabe von Junkie wurden 11 Seiten gestrichen, die dann auch in allen weiteren fremdsprachigen Ausgaben fehlten.

Their issue, in a culture awash with Greek philosophical notions, was whether Jesus Christ was truly divine or simply a creature subordinate to God the Father. In the late fourth century Saint Gregory of Nyssa recorded how his contemporaries, high and low, seriously engaged the question of how to speak about God.
