James Grauerholz, Burroughs's longtime companion, editor, and literary executor, discovered the lost fragments while sorting through a collection of Burroughs manuscripts that had been sold to Ohio State University.
Grauerholz's relationship with the author began in New York City in the early 1970s, and evolved from a brief love affair into an intense working relationship that continued until Burroughs's death.
When Gysin died in 1986, Grauerholz became, as he describes it, "keeper of the flame, so to speak." And Grauerholz intends to do just that-he hopes to oversee the reissue of many Burroughs classics, and he is currently at work on a biography that is due at Grove in spring 2002.

James [Grauerholz], who never calls me, called me around 1 PM and said he was just checking in to make sure I knew to come.
James reads a farewell to William's soul letter from David Ohle, first by lighter -- of course at one point you heard a little sound from James, when it got hot, and then someone brought up a kerosene lantern from the barn, and James then read a note from Giorno.
Then James said a few things and explained some of the Egyptian and Tibetan Buddhistic relationships in the ceremony, tying in the significance of William's writings in his book "The Western Lands".

Editors Grauerholz and Silverberg show sensitivity in their choice of selections from Burroughs' long and productive career; their dedication to his legacy is evident.

 Books: Collected Bunch (The Boston Phoenix . 02-08-99)
In order to please general readers, fans, and scholars, Word Virus editors James Grauerholz and Ira Silverberg, both long-time associates of the author, have set themselves the unenviable assignment of trying to include both the greatest hits and the most relevant excerpts from a lifetime of work (see "Just for Jolly," next page).
This evolution is laid out clearly by Grauerholz, who was Burroughs's companion and editor for the last 23 years of his life.
Instead, Silverberg and Grauerholz came up with Word Virus, a career-summing title that alluded to Burroughs's vision of language as an invading, thought-corrupting organism and to his lifelong battle to turn language on itself.

The chapter introductions by Grauerholz are especially valuable for readers who are removed from Burroughs's original context, and assist in further illuminating Burroughs's writings.
The later works (after the "cut-ups") are especially prophetic; it was interesting to read Burroughs's commentaries on Hussein and another Bush in 2003.
The unique genius that William truly was-yes, indulgent, odd and unsettling at 80, but how great it would have been to have known him young and probably pretty in 1950-is best understood with the direction of J. Grauerholz, although a bourgeois beatnik, for sure, who did love him and is the world expert on him.

Interim Report from the Ad Hoc Committee on Graduate Faculty Certification Guidelines -- Dr. Elizabeth Grauerholz, chair of the ad hoc committee, presented an overview of the committee’s draft report that was distributed to the council.
The committee (composed of Jan Allebach, Elizabeth Grauerholz, James Greenan, Thomas Kuczek, Paul Snyder, and Joseph Thomas) reviewed policies and procedures from peer institutions, as well as the current policies and procedures at Purdue.
The committee found the current policy to state sufficient information about procedures for certification but deficient in the lack of justification as to why graduate faculty certification is done and the importance of it.

 Salon Books | Word Virus
Stylistically, Burroughs is often lumped with the Beats, but even a cursory reading of "Word Virus" shows he was never a Beat in form or vision.
Primarily a fiction writer, Burroughs borrowed heavily from himself, and with the sections of "Word Virus" broken up by surprisingly balanced biographical commentary from Grauerholz, Burroughs' longtime assistant, the volume contains significant splashes of autobiography if only small amounts of nonfiction.
And through the various excerpts and routines we come to see a different Burroughs, not necessarily kinder and gentler, but more complex, harder to pigeonhole as strictly misanthropic or misogynistic.
