Greg Bishop on William Burroughs' attempts to contact Whitley <em>Communion</em> Strieber's otherworld entities. Now there's a <em>Saturday Night Live</em> skit I'd like to have seen...

"One night a couple of years ago, I was privileged to have dinner with Whitley Strieber, his wife Anne, and a few other UFO researchers.
