Oliver Harris, Professor of American Literature, delivered the keynote address to open the "Underground" Conference at Koç University, Istanbul.  His talk, "Working the Hole with William Burroughs: Censorship and The Soft Machine," focused on the on-going legal action brought against the Turkish translation of Burroughs' novel, which went back into court on charges of obscenity on 8 May.
