title?

I'm wondering, does anyone know if this magazine got its title from the book/concept by William S. Burroughs? It seems likely but I have no source. If anyone who might know more about this could describe the source of the magazine's name, it would be a helpful addition to the article. Adlerschloß 05:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the title definitely came from the work of William Burroughs. It is the location of Naked Lunch, and I believe Interzone was the working title of that novel before publication. Interzone is also the location of some of his early short fiction, as collected in the book Interzone in 1989. At the time Interzone magazine started, I had been acquainted with four of the original Interzone editorial collective since the late 1970s. There had been much discussion of possible titles for the planned magazine, and when Interzone was finally chosen, the editors did state explicitly that it was taken from the work of Burroughs. Unfortunately I am not now sure who first suggested the title. I think it is most likely to have been David Pringle, Malcolm Edwards, or John Clute, or possibly Colin Greenland.Paulannis (talk) 13:03, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
