The third-to-last publication of the influential and defiant Fuck You Magazine. It features contributions from names as resonant as Antonin Artaud, Gary Snyder and Charles Olson. It was the only one of its issues to incorporate work by the prolific William Burroughs, who delivers “Fluck You Fluck You Fluck You”, written in a three-column layout dated March 31, 1964, from Tangier. Fuck You Magazine loudly promoted subject matters such as free sex and the taboos surrounding psychedelics before these were popularly countered taboos and were not afraid of inciting provocative conversation. The cover design is by Robert De LaVigne and illustrations by Ed Sanders.
As the back cover states, Fuck You Magazine is 'printed, published, & edited by Ed Sanders at a secret lovefare bunker in the lower east side'.
