William Burroughs closed his classic debut novel, Junky, by saying
he had determined to search out a drug he called 'Yage' which he
believed transmitted telepathic powers, a drug that could be 'the
final fix'. In The Yage Letters - a mix of travel writing, satire,
psychedelia and epistolary novel - he journeys through South
America, writing to his friend Allen Ginsberg about his experiments
with the strange drug, using it to travel through time and space,
to derange his senses - the perfect drug for the author of the wild
decentred books that followed. Years later, Ginsberg writes back as
he follows in Burroughs' footsteps, and the drug worse and more
profound than he had imagined.
