A copy of a letter from Roger Knoebber to someone he called "Golden Oldie", dated 6 July 1991. A personal letter, showing a more bitter, vindictive side to Roger, but also mentioning his friendship (and perhaps physical interaction) with Felicity Mason and the work on his book on Brion Gysin (Hysteresis) and submissions to "RAWNET" (sic, Warten).
This also mentions a clipping from the 25 April 1991 issue of Libération in which Roger Knoebber supposedly shows up in an image with Gregory Corso, Paul Bowles, and William S. Burroughs. This is a fiction, as the person in that image is Burroughs' young companion Michael Portman, as noted by Allen Ginsberg, the author of that image (see image at this link). The image as seen in Libération may be seen here.
