Trenchant writings by that sardonic ""hombre invisible,""
William Seward Burroughs, perpetrator of Naked Lunch and other
shockers. These malefic and beatific, mordant and hilarious
straight-face reports on life are mostly from scatter-shot
publications in obscure places, foreign and domestic. Including
complete texts from White Subway, Cobblestone Gardens, and The
Retreat Diaries, this collection delineates Burroughs'
comprehensive world-view and his ""insurrectionary sense of
America's underside," as Tom Carson epitomized it in The Village
Voice.
Also included are essays on Burroughs by Alan Ansen and Paul
Bowles, and facsimile pages from the famous cut-up scrapbooks of
the mid-century: The Book of Hours, John Brady's Book, and The Old
Farmer's Almanac.
