Description
William S. Burroughs' essays offer a unique blend of wit and wisdom, providing candid assessments of various writers and thinkers. From his observations on science to his reflections on his own life and work, these scintillating pieces showcase Burroughs' satirical and parodic talents. In this collection, Burroughs shares his thoughts on the writers who have influenced him, including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Samuel Beckett, as well as his own experimental approach to writing, known as the "cut-up" method. With characteristic candour, he also discusses the role of coincidence in his life and work. These varied essays, written over three decades, offer a fascinating glimpse into Burroughs' mind and creative process.
