ABSTRACT

This chapter borrows from the tradition of the ‘cut-up’, which Burroughs (2010) confirmed brings to the writer the collage. Diverse and fragmentary, the ‘cut-up’ can be seen as a literary assemblage, which draws together unlikely or unexpected elements. In juxtaposing the seemingly random and often without transition, an anthology unfolds unpredictably as ideas and thoughts coalesce in one pulsating place.
