William S. Burroughs
Biography of the experimental American writer and discussion of his works.
http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/wbburrou.htm

Extractions: William (Seward) Burroughs (1914-1997) American writer of experimental novels, who lived long times in Mexico City, Tanger, Paris, and London. Burroughs's homosexual themes in THE NAKED LUNCH (1959) and the frankness with which he dealt with his own experiences as a drug addict sparkled the last major obscenity trial in U.S., but won him a following among writers, musicians, and film makers. Burroughs produced the bulk of his writing after he moved to London and took an apomorphine cure under the direction of Dr John Dent. "You know how old people lose all shame about eating, and it makes you puke to watch them? Old junkies are the same about junk. They gibber and squeal about the sight of it. The spit hangs off their skin, and their stomach rumbles and all their guts grind in peristalsis while they cook up, dissolving the body's decent skin, you expect any moment a great blob of protoplasm will flop right out and surround the junk. Really disgust you to see it." (from The Naked Lunch William Seward Burroughs II was born in St. Louis, Mo. into a successful business family. His mother, Laura Lee, was a direct descendant of Robert E. Lee, his grandfather the inventor of the Burroughs adding machine. The Burroughs Corporation ultimately merged with the Sperry Corporation to create Unisys. By the time of Burroughs's birth, his father Mortimer had already sold his stock in the company.

BBC - BBC Four - Audio Interviews - William S(eward) Burroughs
BBC profile and audio interviews with the author.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/audiointerviews/profilepages/burroughsw1.shtml

Extractions: William Burroughs was born in St Louis, Missouri, the son of a wealthy businessman. After graduating from Harvard in 1936, Burroughs drifted for a number of years, settling in New York in 1943. There he joined up with the poet Allen Ginsberg and the writer Jack Kerouac, with whom he shared a lifestyle of alcohol, junk food and drug addiction. In New York, Burroughs met and married another drug addict, Joan Vollmer, whom he accidentally shot and killed in 1951. Paradoxically, this gave birth to Burroughs as a writer. "I am forced to the appalling conclusion," he wrote, "that I would never have become a writer but for Joan's death. I had no choice but to write my way out". Burroughs' first novel, Junkie: Confessions of an Unredeemed Drug Addict, was published under a pseudonym in 1953. In 1954, he moved to Tangier, where he lived in poverty and drug dependency until, almost penniless, he underwent an apomorphine cure in London. Moving to Paris, he began to put together the notes he had made during the 15 years of his addiction. This became Naked Lunch, published in Paris in 1959 by Maurice Girodias of the Olympia Press.

First edition thus, complete and unexpergated, the first edition to bear Burroughs' real name, and with a new introduction by Allen Ginsberg. Slight toning to the page edges, else fine in wrappers. Inscribed by Burroughs to the actress Ruth Ford: "For Ruth Ford, All the best, William S. Burroughs." Ford was the Mississippi-born sister of surrealist author Charles Henri Ford, as well as a beautiful model and actress, first in Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre, and later in films and theater. Notably, she starred on Broadway in Jean Paul Sartre's No Exit in 1946, under the direction of John Huston (the last of five Broadway plays he directed). Her apartment in the Dakota became a salon for authors such as Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee, Terrence McNally, and Truman Capote. A chance encounter between Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents in her Manhattan living room led to their collaboration, with her Dakota-neighbor Leonard Bernstein, on West Side Story . Similarly, she brought together Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight to create the celebrated stories of

St Louis, Missouri, US Harvard, US Parental support allowed him to avoid the daylight world of work, though at one point he set up as a Texas farmer, growing oranges, cotton and marijuana. He has loomed large in popular culture, naming a musical genre - heavy metal - and in 1993 modelling for Gap. Always assured of adolescent adulation, from Naked Lunch on ("strident and illiterate to its heart of pulp"), critical reaction has been sharply divided - though his surprising endurance was proof that if you last long enough, the establishment develops an affection for you. The cut-up technique can make mid-period Burroughs taste over-chewed (if you've read Naked Lunch, then you've read The Soft Machine), but his last major work, the 80s Western Lands trilogy, was praised for its new discipline and narrative accessibility (while still including plenty of homoerotic cowboys, Egyptian gods and putrefying giant insects).
LitKicks: Junky
Information about the book.
http://www.litkicks.com/Books/Junky.html

Extractions: Visit the general discussion board or view list of boards William S. Burroughs never planned on being a writer. He'd written stories as a child and had a superb literary background, but as a young man his only aspiration was to explore America's seedy urban underworlds. When he finally became a writer, it was only because of the unwritten rule that everybody who hangs out with Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg shall write at least one book. "Junky," Burroughs' first book, was a straightforward account of his life as a heroin junkie. Now, forty years later, the book sparkles with literary promise, but in the early fifties it was suitable for publication only as a sensationalistic pulp paperback. Ginsberg's friend Carl Solomon 's uncle ran Ace Books, and Ace was so nervous about taking responsibility for this shockingly frank story that they coupled it with another book by a narcotics agent, telling how he chased and caught people like Burroughs. Not wanting his family to know he had written such a nasty book (they supported him financially), Burroughs assumed his mother's maiden name, Lee. "Junky" by William Lee was forgotten soon after it came out in 1953, and rediscovered after ' Naked Lunch ' made Burroughs famous.

Revista De Prensa
Etapa adictiva del autor e influencia de los estimulantes en el desarrollo de su obra.
http://www.lainsignia.org/2004/enero/cul_020.htm

Extractions: Burroughs hab�a cambiado. Atr�s quedaban las largu�simas tenidas de droga y alcohol. En una de ellas -es notorio- mat� a su mujer cuando trataba de partir con un tiro la manzana que ella ten�a sobre la cabeza. Sucedi� en M�xico y en estos diarios afirma que equivoc� el disparo porque estaba pose�do por "El Esp�ritu Feo". Consigna que se comunica con los muertos, fabrica conjuros, opera una "m�quina deseante" que le permite el acceso a una suerte de so�ar despierto, reconoce esp�ritus que lo protegen y demonios que lo asaltan. Estos raptos de ocultismo y magia negra alternan con las expresiones de odio que propina a humanistas negadores de otras dimensiones y a la irracionalidad de un mundo que usa el disfraz de la raz�n. Burroughs ten�a conciencia plena de los campos de concentraci�n, del racismo y la censura, de las seguridades que deshumanizan. Su obra, como la de Daumier o Goya, es una s�tira violenta contra el autoritarismo y una parodia de los amantes y ocupantes del poder. Burroughs precis� estas posiciones en una entrevista radiof�nica que Eric Mottram le hiciera para la BBC de Londres en 1964 con motivo de la prohibici�n de sus libros. "El virus del poder -dijo el autor de Nova Express- se manifiesta a s� mismo de muchas maneras. En la construcci�n de armas nucleares, en pr�cticamente todos los sistemas existentes que procuran anular la libertad interior, es decir, controlarla. Se manifiesta en la extrema sordidez de la vida diaria en los pa�ses occidentales. Se manifiesta en la fealdad y la vulgaridad que vemos en las personas y se manifiesta, por supuesto, en las enfermedades causadas por el virus. Por otra parte, los que resisten est�n en todas partes, pertenecen a todas las razas y naciones. El que resiste puede ser definido simplemente como un individuo que tiene conciencia del enemigo, de sus m�todos operativos, y que est� empe�ado activamente en combatir a ese enemigo." Bush hijo incluir�a a Burroughs en la lista de terroristas m�s buscados.

http://www.elmundo.es/elmundolibro/2000/10/10/anticuario/971197852.html

Extractions: Hace unos pocos a�os fue el 'look' de las modelos. Se insisti� en que las guapas de revista y pasarelas ten�an pinta de yonquis. Luego se habl� de que parec�an anor�xicas. Y recientes reportajes sensacionalistas sobre la corrupci�n del mundo de la moda, confirman que algunas de esas chicas son las dos cosas; y adem�s, las explotan sexualmente. La �ltima sensaci�n -al menos en Estados Unidos, por lo que no tardar� en llegar aqu�- es que entre los nuevos millonarios que se dedican a la inform�tica, abundan los que le pegan a la coca�na y a la hero�na. Tambi�n esos miembros del llamado 'dot-com' (punto.com) se ponen morados de anfetas, cuyo consumo, seg�n datos de la polic�a californiana, ha aumentado un 678 por 100 desde 1995 a 1999.
