A24 Zine Issue 28
Issue 28 of the A24 zine series, companion to Queer (2024), directed by Luca Guadagnino, written by Justin Kuritzkes and starring Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey. The zine reveals the lesser-known side of William S. Burroughs — the author of Naked Lunch and Junky who yearned for connection, lived with regret and learned the meaning of love from his cats — through his journals and intimate conversations with friends; Burroughs inspired William Lee, the film's protagonist and his stand-in. Includes an introduction by Kuritzkes, passages from the 1985 novel Queer, and archival photography of Burroughs.
