William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg: Queer / The Yage Letters
The success of the magazine Reflex and the desire of its management to cross the now fallen boundaries in the eager post-revolutionary period soon led to extending publishing activities. In Najbrt’s design alone, translations of Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, Sacher-Masoch’s Venus in Furs, Burroughs / Ginsberg’s Queer / The Yage Letters and Battaile’s Story of the Eye were published in the X edition. Same as with magazine articles, Najbrt approached the covers of controversy classics as a not too explicit typographic illustration. Whereas Miller’s rawness received sharp, egdy shapes, the soft and billowy Queer culminates with a halo that is irrecoverably camp.
