Description
The Magical Universe of William S. Burroughs by Matthew Levi Stevens William S. Burroughs' life and work are deeply rooted in the idea that the universe is governed by a set of underlying principles, rather than chance or circumstance. This worldview, which he termed the "magical universe," posits that every event is connected and that the individual's role is to navigate and shape these connections. Burroughs' writings often explore this concept, incorporating elements of mysticism, the occult, and alternative spirituality. From his descriptions of magical rituals and invocations of supernatural entities, to his exploration of various belief systems and practices, Burroughs' work is characterized by a sense of wonder and a desire to push the boundaries of human understanding. Matthew Levi Stevens' book offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of Burroughs' life and work, unraveling the threads of his magical universe and revealing the depth and complexity of his ideas.
