The Job: Interviews with William S. Burroughs (French: Entretiens Avec William Burroughs) is a book by Daniel Odier built around an extensive series of interviews with Beat Generation author William S. Burroughs which concluded 15 November 1968.[1] The topics range from Scientology to Burroughs' opinions of other writers, views on power, etc.

As Burroughs explains in a foreword, a series of impromptu interviews was expanded with previously-written material (some published, some not). "The result is interview form presented as a film with fade-outs and flash-back illustrating the answers.[2] Burroughs' replies are hence discursive, extending the usual interview format to incorporate fiction. The contents vary between editions, as outlined below.

Contents

The structure of the book is unorthodox. Here are the contents as present in the most recent (and most complete) Penguin edition.

  • "Playback from Eden to Watergate"
  • introduction
  • "Author's Foreword"
  • "One: Journey through time-space" including section
    • "Control"
  • "Two: Prisoners of the earth come out" including section
    • "Don't have to think"
  • "Three: A new frog"
  • "Four: Academy 23" including sections
    • "Anti-junk"
    • "The invisible generation"
    • "Electronic revolution 1970-71"
    • "Scribe street"
    • "How to be Humphrey Bogart"
