About this product

Product Information

Iconoclast; visionary; homosexual crusader; drug advocate; teacher and elder statesman to the Beats- William Burroughs remains one of the most complex and controversial American writers of the twentieth century. After killing his wife in a bizarre shooting accident, Burroughs moved to Tangier where he lived in a male brothel and wrote his celebrated bestseller Naked Lunch - in Newsweek's words 'A masterpiece. A cry from Hell' and spent much of the rest of his life in self-imposed exile from the United States. Following Burroughs' death in August 1997, Barry Miles updated his riveting, highly readable and unconventional biography of this legendary provocateur and all-round thorn in the side of the establishment.

Reviews
"Miles traces threads of Burroughs' images from childhood to tough elder genius, isolating sensitive themes, following recurrences and evolution of routines, clarifying Burroughs' comic pathetic heroic philosophies and insights into coherent whole. Miles familiarises even old close readers with a fine map of Burroughs' mind." --Allan Ginsberg "There can be no more effective introduction." --Q "Gives shape to a life that would otherwise seem crowded and aimless." --Independent on Sunday, "Affable and affectionate. . . . Miles is best when considering the genesis and intermingling of Burroughs's fiction and nonfiction." -Publishers Weekly, "Miles traces threads of Burroughs' images from childhood to tough elder genius, isolating sensitive themes, following recurrences and evolution of routines, clarifying Burroughs' comic pathetic heroic philosophies and insights into coherent whole. Miles familiarises even old close readers with a fine map of Burroughs' mind." --Allan Ginsberg "There can be no more effective introduction." -- Q "Gives shape to a life that would otherwise seem crowded and aimless." --Independent on Sunday, "Especially valuable for its coverage of the complex textual history of Burroughs's work." - Library Journal, Miles traces threads of Burroughs' images from childhood to tough elder genius, isolating sensitive themes, following recurrences and evolution of routines, clarifying Burroughs' comic pathetic heroic philosophies and insights into coherent whole. Miles familiarises even old close readers with a fine map of Burroughs' mind.
