John Gysin était un styliste de prose et un artiste qui gravita autour du mouvement Beat. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il reçut une bourse Fulbright et s'associa plus tard étroitement à William S. Burroughs. Leur popularisation de la « technique du cut-up » dadaïste est la principale source de la renommée littéraire de Gysin. Son œuvre se caractérise par l'expérimentation et la recherche de nouvelles formes d'expression.
