Με την επιθυμία της φυγής, του ταξιδιού, ως κέντρο βάρους, η νατουραλιστική πρόζα του Kerouac περιγράφει την περιδιάβασή του στις πόλεις σαν σε πραγματικό χρόνο, με επιμονή στις λεπτομέρειες, αλλά και με ελλειπτικό χαρακτήρα - με προτάσεις δηλαδή κοφτές, απότομες και σε στιγμές απόλυτες. Εντούτοις την εμφάνισή τους στη γραφή κάνουν πλήθος ηχητικών παιχνιδιών και παρηχήσεων, προσδίδοντας έναν εσωτερικό ρυθμό στην αφήγηση. Η πρόζα του Kerouac, με συχνό ασύνδετο σχήμα, είναι άμεση, προσιτή και οικεία, ενώ θυμίζει έντονα συζήτηση γύρω από ποτό και τσιγάρα (μιας και μιλάμε για τον Kerouac). Forget, this is the book to read of Kerouac. 'On the Road' is fine, but is hampered by Kerouac's thinly disguised hankering after Dean Moriarty (Neal Cassady in real life). If Kerouac would have wrote about that elephant in the room it would have been a better book. The whole book I was going 'Hey, Sal, the guys a sociopath, get over it!'
In any case, those problems aren't in this collection of essays on the traveling life Kerouac had in the late 40's and 50's. Thank God he is loneso Forget, this is the book to read of Kerouac.

In any case, those problems aren't in this collection of essays on the traveling life Kerouac had in the late 40's and 50's. Thank God he is lonesome for the most part so we don't have read his obsessions with Cassady or a Mexican whore. Rather we get the beat prose on being a hobo, a railman, a solitary guy in a fire lookout, a traveler in Morocco and Europe. There really is no other prose writer like this, and you kinda forgive him for the outrageousness because the rhythms and images just come one after another in a gushing torrent!

It seemed appropriate somehow. This book was a little odd in that it was re-telling stories he'd covered in other novels, but I really enjoyed the way he told them in this. It was definitely some of his more beautiful prose, in particular the first story about meeting his friend. It was one of those great Kerouac descriptions were nothing much happens except two people bum around a bit, and it's simply engrossing.

I also really enjoyed his description of Morocco and Paris. The other characters in this book were only fleeting glimpses, Burroughs turned up twice but only as a shadow.
There was also a lot of descriptions of the cheap food he was able to find, and how even when he didn't need to he still tried to live as cheaply as possible (something I identify with). It was another fascinating read. I feel like I'm getting close to having read everything he's written in a year. I think I may hold off on the last few books for awhile as I don't want the journey to be over yet. There was one gorgeously cynical description that I really loved. 'Ah America, so big, so sad, so black, you're like the leafs of a dry summer that go crinkly ere August found its end, you're hopeless, everyone you look on you, there's nothing but the dry drear hopelessness, the knowledge of impending death, the suffering of the present life.' This is a bunch of short-ish pieces put together by the common theme of Kerouac being alone and going all everywhere.
It's my favorite thing of his I've read yet, and it's mainly because it's easier for me to take him in small doses than large. I don't consider myself to have a short attention span, but reading him, often I'll start to turn to go to the next page then realize my brain has been off on something else while my eyes scanned the words.

I don't consider myself to have a short attention span, but reading him, often I'll start to turn to go to the next page then realize my brain has been off on something else while my eyes scanned the words. Reading (quietly) out loud helped a lot to keep focused on those winding sentences that last 500 words or so, and also help appreciate the auditory lyricism of his prose writing, if that makes sense. 'Mexico Fellaheen' and the bullfight was probably the best single scene to read, while 'The Railroad Earth' had a lot of difficult, well, boring parts until he's actually on the train and traveling; then it's magnificent. 'Alone on a Mountaintop' was like a much more condensed 'Desolation Angels' telling a related, but different story to what's in the full, book version.
I admit to preferring this version and it's Catholic-Buddhist conclusion. It took me a couple of chapters to get into this book, once Jack started writing about working on trains, you could really feel his love for trains and I was able to get into the story then.

This is a collection of stories from Jack's travels, featuring America, Mexico, Morocco, Paris and London. I was looking forward to reading about his time in Europe, I wanted to compare his experience to Henry Miller and George Orwell, but it was very different, it was all very spiritual for him, all those old churches and old paintings.
One of the chapters is about his experiences as a fire watcher on mount desolation, which happens at the end of the Dharma Bums novel. It was really interesting to revisit this experience. The book is written in his usual stream of consciousness style so I would avoid the book if you didn't like on the road. I think I expected this to be like Orwell's down & out in Paris & London, which it was in part. The first half of the book is really repeatative and boring. Reading about one train was enough for me but there was the odd beauty of a sentence that pushed me on. This is really short but has taken me a little while probably due to the first half.
The second half was exactly what I wanted! I have a total literary crush on Jack and I love to read the romance he sees in the everyday.

What a great book to find in the hostel where I am staying.

Lonesome Traveler is a compilation of narratives that has one common theme: travel. Although others have stated that Kerouac's dependence on his mother and at times, his aunt for financial support as he was writing his novels is less than commendable, I find his persistence in continuing to move quite inspiring. I may not be the type who would be doing railroad work at this time, or hitchike for that matter, but the drive to keep on going, to find more things and what we can do with life is a great deal to carry. Among the essays included in this collection, my favorite one would have to be 'Alone on a Mountaintop'.
This piece is all about finding solitude, and what better location to achieve this than up in the mountains? I see this work is a salute to Henry David Thoreau whose penchant for nature and being surrounded with green all around gave him peace and satisfaction. For me, being inside the Diliman campus somehow provides me that sense of peace, that solitude that he was describing. There is variety in the way Kerouac presented the theme, from cities to railroads, to people and places, even the earth and the sea. Perhaps traveling and writing go perfectly hand in hand because both areas are solitary pursuits, and loneliness is a feature that comes and goes as one goes through all these experiences.
This was an interesting read, but only recommended for those deeply interested in the beats. What I liked about it, is it is a very intimate chronicle without any fictive veils on how Kerouac lived his life, and received the world around him.
At it's worst it was written in the style of a less gruesome Burroughs novel. My favorite times were the passages where Kerouac spends a summer in solitude, working for the US Forestry service, and subsequently travels to Europe.

'God is in all things that move, and God is in all things that do not move.' But in general, I'm happy to have finished it and am now able to move onto the next one.
I'm giving this book 4 stars for the last part, The Vanishing American Hobo. In this, Kerouac is not really lamenting the lost hobo life or glamorizing it. He's depicting it as both a loss of freedom and as a life that is full of sorrow and lonliness.

His descriptions of hobo life in the wilderness as somewhat romantic, and hobo life in the city, especially NY, as lonely and dangerous. He poignantly writes about the way society, while becoming more suburban and prosperous in the 1950's, is much less tolerant of hobos. He describes this in such stark and realistic prose that is heartbreaking. I read this 'chapter' twice, it was that moving.
I also gave it 4 stars for 'Railroad Earth', as I was careening down to San Jose on a train with Kerouac. A harrowing ride- I love him at his best because I am right there on that train with him- the gritty, grinding moving train with the scenery whizzing. I love old trains, and if you can't ride one but you love them too, read this.
I also enjoyed the trip to Mexico, funny and interesting, and Tanjiers. In London when he cried in St. Pauls cathedral. In these chapters it was fun to roam around with him, but Railroad Earth and The Vanishing American Hobo made this book a very worthwhile read. ' When you realize that God is Everything you know that you’ve got to, love everything no matter how bad it is, in the ultimate sense it was neither good nor bad (consider the dust), it was just what was, that is, what was made to appear.— Some kind of drama to teach something to something, some “despised substance of divinest show.” 'Love life for what it is, and form no preconceptions whatever in your mind.'

In this book, JK recounts many of the trips he took across America and around the world. He captures the poetry of the railroad and the migratory worker's ('hobo') life. If prose can be musical, these are words that sing. Fantastic writing by a fantastic writer. So often the first line of a novel establishes the whole book.
That surely is the case here as well: 'HERE DOWN ON DARK EARTH, before we all go to Heaven VISIONS OF AMERICA' But in this case, it is the last paragraph that practically knocks you senseless: 'In evil roads behind gas tanks where murderous dogs snarl from behind wire fences cruisers suddenly leap out like getaway cars but from a crime more secret, more baneful than words can tell.

I realize I haven't taken a breath in some time and my lungs are on fire. And I collapse in a heap of fatigue delirium and satisfaction and I understand. You don't read Kerouac. You experience him, you breathe him, you ingest him.

One of the most unlikely stars of the late '70s-to-early '90s punk/college rock days wasn't a musician at all, but a taciturn, elderly writer clad not in flannel shirts and Doc Martens, but a three-piece suit, hat, and cane. How a novelist with no musical background who began his career in the 1940s became so popular an alternative music figure that Kurt Cobaine backed him up on one of Cobain's last recordings is one of the odder, more fascinating footnotes in this otherwise heavily examined musical era. Burroughs is, of course, one of the most celebrated figures in 20th century literature due to his key participation in the 'Beat' movement that essentially dragged American letters into the modern era, rejecting classical European/Shakespearean influences in an attempt to create a literature as unique to the U.S. As jazz is to American music. And, indeed, the cliche of the beatnik reciting stream-of-consciousness poetry over cool jazz is the first thing that pops to mind when considering the confluence of the Beats with music.
But Burroughs was never a beatnik. He was a junkie and heroin dealer who accidentally shot and killed his wife, traveled thru Latin America and Morocco, helped popularize North African trance ritual music, dismantled literature via his 'cut-up' method of chopping up and rearranging pages of writings, was put on trial for obscenity, saw his son go to prison, saw his son die, was gay in the pre-Stonewall days, and co-created a 'dream machine' said to create somewhat hallucinatory experiences when activated. In other words, he'd been thru some shit. By the late '70s, he was back in the States and started giving public readings in his now impossibly craggy, deep, world-weary voice.
This was to be his main source of income for the last years of his life. The downtown New York scene was receptive to both his writings and his voice, filled as it was with not only the weight and wisdom of a life you never led, but with an idiosyncratic rhythmic delivery. He left New York for Kansas in 1981, well on his way to becoming an icon of cool. After a while, it wasn't enough to just listen to Burroughs read his own works, with increasingly elaborate musical backings, but to hire him to perform on other people's recordings. And that is what we have here: not Burroughs' own releases, but his various miscellaneous appearances on other bands' songs. Having Burroughs perform your music gave you instant hip cred, and gave a Bill a paycheck. As puts it, he was a rock star to rock stars.
Burroughs died in 1997, at age 83. UPDATE 10/13: Also now up on ubu.web: 1.

Signature William Seward Burroughs II (; also known by his William Lee; February 5, 1914 – August 2, 1997) was an American, and performer. A primary figure of the and a major author, he is considered to be 'one of the most politically trenchant, culturally influential, and innovative artists of the 20th century'. His influence is considered to have affected a range of popular culture as well as literature. Burroughs wrote 18 novels and novellas, six collections of short stories and four collections of essays. Five books have been published of his interviews and correspondences.
He also collaborated on projects and recordings with numerous performers and musicians, and made many appearances in films. He was born to a wealthy family in, grandson of the inventor and founder of the, and nephew of public relations manager. Burroughs began writing essays and journals in early adolescence.
He left home in 1932 to attend, studied English, and as a postgraduate, and later attended medical school in Vienna. After being turned down by the and in 1942 to serve in World War II, he picked up the drug addiction that affected him for the rest of his life, while working a variety of jobs.
In 1943 while living in New York City, he befriended and, the mutually influential foundation of which grew into the Beat Generation, and later the. Much of Burroughs's work is semi-autobiographical, primarily drawn from his experiences as a addict, as he lived throughout, the South American and in. Burroughs accidentally killed his second wife, in 1951 in Mexico City, and was consequently convicted of manslaughter. In the introduction to Queer, a novel written in 1953 but not published until 1985, Burroughs states, 'I am forced to the appalling conclusion that I would have never become a writer but for Joan’s death.
So the death of Joan brought me into contact with the invader, the Ugly Spirit, and maneuvered me into a lifelong struggle, in which I had no choice except to write my way out'. ( Queer, 1985, p.xxii). Finding success with his confessional first novel, (1953), Burroughs is perhaps best known for his third novel (1959), a controversy-fraught work that underwent a court case under the U.S. With, he also popularized the literary in works such as (1961–64). Burroughs was born in 1914, the younger of two sons born to Mortimer Perry Burroughs (June 16, 1885 – January 5, 1965) and Laura Hammon Lee (August 5, 1888 – October 20, 1970). The Burroughses were a prominent family of in.
His grandfather, founded the Burroughs Adding Machine company, which evolved into the. Burroughs' mother was the daughter of a minister whose family claimed to be related to. His maternal uncle, was an advertising pioneer later employed as a publicist for the Rockefellers. His father ran an antique and gift shop, Cobblestone Gardens; first in St.
Louis, then in. As a boy, Burroughs lived on Pershing Ave.
He attended in St. Louis where his first published essay, 'Personal Magnetism', was printed in the John Burroughs Review in 1929. He then attended the in New Mexico, which was stressful for him. The school was a for the wealthy, 'where the spindly sons of the rich could be transformed into manly specimens'. Burroughs kept documenting an erotic attachment to another boy. According to his own account, he destroyed these later, ashamed of their content. Due to the repressive context where he grew up, and from which he fled, that is, a 'family where displays of affection were considered embarrassing', he kept his sexual orientation concealed well into adulthood, when he became a well known homosexual writer after the publication of Naked Lunch in 1959.
Some say that he was expelled from Los Alamos after taking in with a fellow student. Yet, according to his own account, he left voluntarily: 'During the Easter vacation of my second year I persuaded my family to let me stay in St.
Burroughs finished high school at Taylor School in, and in 1932, left home to pursue an arts degree at, where he was affiliated with. During the summers, he worked as a cub reporter for the, covering the police docket.
He disliked the work, and refused to cover some events, like the death of a drowned child. He lost his virginity in an that summer with a female prostitute he regularly patronized. While at Harvard, Burroughs made trips to New York City and was introduced to the gay subculture there. He visited dives, piano bars, and the and homosexual underground with Richard Stern, a wealthy friend from. They would drive from Boston to New York in a reckless fashion. Once, Stern scared Burroughs so much, he asked to be let out of the vehicle.
His parents, upon his graduation, had decided to give him a monthly allowance of $200 out of their earnings from Cobblestone Gardens, a tidy sum in those days. It was enough to keep him going, and indeed it guaranteed his survival for the next twenty-five years, arriving with welcome regularity. The allowance was a ticket to freedom; it allowed him to live where he wanted to and to forgo employment. Burroughs's parents sold the rights to his grandfather's invention and had no share in the. Shortly before the, they sold their stock for $200,000 (equivalent to approximately $2,746,899 in today's funds ). After leaving Harvard, Burroughs's formal education ended, except for brief flirtations as a graduate student of at Harvard and as a medical student in Vienna, Austria. He traveled to Europe and became involved in Austrian and Hungarian -era; he picked up young men in steam baths in Vienna, and moved in a circle of exiles, homosexuals, and runaways.
There, he met Ilse Klapper, a woman fleeing the country's government. The two were never romantically involved, but Burroughs married her, in, against the wishes of his parents, to allow her to gain a visa to the United States.
She made her way to New York City, and eventually divorced Burroughs, although they remained friends for many years. After returning to the U.S., he held a string of uninteresting jobs. In 1939, his mental health became a concern for his parents, especially after he deliberately severed the last joint of his left little finger, right at the knuckle, to impress a man with whom he was infatuated. This event made its way into his early fiction as the short story 'The Finger'. Burroughs enlisted in the early in 1942, shortly after the bombing of brought the U.S. But when he was classified as a 1-A Infantry, not an officer, he became dejected. His mother recognized her son's depression and got Burroughs a civilian disability discharge—a release from duty based on the premise he should have not been allowed to enlist due to previous mental instability.
After being evaluated by a family friend, who was also a neurologist at a psychiatric treatment center, Burroughs waited five months in limbo at Jefferson Barracks outside St. Louis before being discharged. During that time he met a Chicago soldier also awaiting release, and once Burroughs was free, he moved to Chicago and held a variety of jobs, including one as an. When two of his friends from St. Louis, a student, and David Kammerer, Carr's admirer, left for New York City, Burroughs followed. In 1944, Burroughs began living with in an apartment they shared with and, Kerouac's first wife.
Vollmer Adams was married to a with whom she had a young daughter, Julie Adams. Burroughs and Kerouac got into trouble with the law for failing to report a murder involving, who had killed David Kammerer in a confrontation over Kammerer's incessant and unwanted advances.
This incident inspired Burroughs and Kerouac to collaborate on a novel titled, completed in 1945. The two fledgling authors were unable to get it published, but the manuscript was eventually published in November 2008 by and. Vollmer also became an addict, but her drug of choice was, an sold over the counter at that time. Because of her addiction and social circle, her husband immediately divorced her after returning from the war. Vollmer would become Burroughs’.
Burroughs was soon arrested for forging a narcotics prescription and was sentenced to return to his parents' care in St. Vollmer's addiction led to a temporary psychosis which resulted in her admission to a hospital, and the custody of her child was endangered. Yet after Burroughs completed his house arrest in St. Louis, he returned to New York, released Vollmer from the psychiatric ward of, and moved with her and her daughter to Texas. Vollmer soon became pregnant with Burroughs's child. Their son, was born in 1947. The family moved briefly to New Orleans in 1948.
Mexico and South America. In 1951, Burroughs shot and killed Vollmer in a drunken game of ' at a party above the American-owned Bounty Bar in Mexico City. He spent 13 days in jail before his brother came to Mexico City and bribed Mexican lawyers and officials to release Burroughs on bail while he awaited trial for the killing, which was ruled. Vollmer’s daughter, Julie Adams, went to live with her grandmother, and William S.
Burroughs, Jr., went to St. Louis to live with his grandparents. Burroughs reported every Monday morning to the jail in Mexico City while his prominent Mexican attorney worked to resolve the case. According to, two witnesses had agreed to testify that the gun had gone off accidentally while he was checking to see if it was loaded, and the ballistics experts were bribed to support this story.
Nevertheless, the trial was continuously delayed and Burroughs began to write what would eventually become the short novel while awaiting his trial. However, when his attorney fled Mexico after his own legal problems involving a car accident and altercation with the son of a government official, Burroughs decided, according to, to 'skip' and return to the United States.
He was convicted in absentia of homicide and was given a two-year sentence which was suspended. Although Burroughs was writing before the shooting of Joan Vollmer, this event marked him and, biographers argue, his work for the rest of his life. Yet he had begun to write in 1945. Burroughs and Kerouac collaborated on, a mystery novel loosely based on the Carr/Kammerer situation and that was left unpublished. Years later, in the documentary What Happened to Kerouac?, Burroughs described it as 'not a very distinguished work'. An excerpt of this work, in which Burroughs and Kerouac wrote alternating chapters, was finally published in Word Virus, a compendium of William Burroughs's writing that was published by his biographer after his death in 1997.
During 1953, Burroughs was at loose ends. Due to legal problems, he was unable to live in the cities towards which he was most inclined. He spent time with his parents in, and New York City with Allen Ginsberg.
When Ginsberg refused his romantic advances, Burroughs went to Rome to meet on a vacation financed from his parents' continuing support. When he found Rome and Ansen’s company dreary, and inspired by ' fiction, he decided to head for, Morocco. In a home owned by a known procurer of homosexual prostitutes for visiting American and English men, he rented a room and began to write a large body of text that he personally referred to as.
Burroughs lived in Tangier for several months before returning to the United States where he suffered a combination of personal indignities and financial problems. Allen Ginsberg was at the time in California and refused to see him., the publisher of Junkie, was not forthcoming with his royalties. Burroughs’ parents were threatening to cut off his allowance. To Burroughs, all signs directed a return to Tangier, a city where drugs were freely available and where financial support from his family would continue.
He realized that in the Moroccan culture he had found an environment that synchronized with his temperament and afforded no hindrances to pursuing his interests and indulging in his chosen activities. In 1950, Robert Ruark had described the unbridled tenor of the Moroccan city in his syndicated column. Compared to Tangier, Ruark wrote, “Sodom was a church picnic and Gomorrah a convention of Girl Scouts.” The misogyny of the social structure also appealed to Burroughs’ innate distrust and fear of women. In Tangier, the ubiquitously veiled and shrouded woman loudly broadcast the subservient female role. He left for Tangier in November 1954 and spent the next four years there working on the fiction that would later become Naked Lunch, as well as attempting to write commercial articles about Tangier. He sent these writings to Ginsberg, his literary agent for Junkie, but none were published until 1989 when Interzone, a collection of short stories, was published.
Under the strong influence of a confection known as and a German-made called, Burroughs settled in to write. Eventually, Ginsberg and Kerouac, who had traveled to Tangier in 1957, helped Burroughs type, edit, and arrange these episodes into Naked Lunch. Whereas Junkie and Queer were conventional in style, Naked Lunch was his first venture into a style.
After the publication of Naked Lunch, a book whose creation was to a certain extent the result of a series of contingencies, Burroughs was exposed to 's at the in Paris in September 1959. He began slicing up phrases and words to create new sentences. At the Beat Hotel Burroughs discovered 'a port of entry' into Gysin's canvases: 'I don't think I had ever seen painting until I saw the painting of Brion Gysin.'
The two would cultivate a long-term friendship that revolved around a mutual interest in artworks and cut-up techniques. Scenes were slid together with little care for. Perhaps thinking of his crazed physician, Dr. Benway, he described Naked Lunch as a book that could be cut into at any point. Although not considered, the book does seem to forecast—with eerie prescience—such later phenomena as, and the pandemic.
Excerpts from Naked Lunch were first published in the United States in 1958. The novel was initially rejected by, the publisher of Ginsberg's; and publisher, who had published English-language novels in France that were controversial for their subjective views of sex and anti-social characters. But Allen Ginsberg worked to get excerpts published in and in 1958., student editor of Chicago Review, a quarterly journal partially subsidized by the university, promised to publish more excerpts from Naked Lunch, but he was fired from his position in 1958 after Chicago Daily News columnist called the first excerpt obscene.
Rosenthal went on to publish more in his newly created literary journal No. 1; however, these copies elicited such contempt, the editors were accused of sending obscene material through the United States Mail by the, who ruled that copies could not be mailed to subscribers. New York critic John Ciardi did manage to get a copy and wrote a positive review of the work, prompting a telegram from Allen Ginsberg praising the review. This controversy made Naked Lunch interesting to Girodias again, and he published the novel in 1959. After the novel was published, it slowly became notorious across Europe and the United States, garnering interest from not just members of the, but also literary critics such as. Once published in the United States, Naked Lunch was prosecuted as by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, followed by other states.
In 1966, the declared the work 'not obscene' on the basis of criteria developed largely to defend the book. The case against Burroughs's novel still stands as the last obscenity trial against a work of literature—that is, a work consisting of words only, and not including illustrations or photographs—prosecuted in the United States.
The 'Word Hoard', the collection of manuscripts that produced Naked Lunch, also produced the later works (1961), (1962), and (1963). These novels feature extensive use of the cut-up technique which influenced all of Burroughs' subsequent fiction to a degree. During Burroughs' friendship and artistic collaborations with Brion Gysin and, the technique was combined with images, Gysin's paintings, and sound, via Somerville's tape recorders.
Burroughs was so dedicated to the cut-up method that he often defended his use of the technique before editors and publishers, most notably Dick Seaver at in the 1960s and in the 1980s. The cut-up method, because of its random or mechanical basis for text generation, combined with the possibilities of mixing in text written by other writers, deemphasizes the traditional role of the writer as creator or originator of a string of words, while simultaneously exalting the importance of the writer's sensibility as an editor. In this sense, the cut-up method may be considered as analogous to the method in the visual arts.
Burroughs moved into a rundown hotel in the of Paris in 1959 when Naked Lunch was still looking for a publisher., with its easy access to drugs, small groups of homosexuals, growing political unrest, and odd collection of criminals, had become increasingly unhealthy for Burroughs. He went to Paris to meet Ginsberg and talk with. In so doing, he left a brewing legal problem, which eventually transferred itself to Paris., a British former career criminal and cigarette smuggler whom Burroughs met in Tangier, was arrested on suspicion of importing narcotics into France. Lund gave up Burroughs, and some evidence implicated Burroughs in the possible importation of narcotics into France. Once again, the man faced criminal charges, this time in Paris for conspiracy to import opiates, when the Moroccan authorities forwarded their investigation to French officials. Yet it was under this impending threat of criminal sanction that Maurice Girodias published Naked Lunch; the publication helped in getting Burroughs a suspended sentence, since a literary career, according to Ted Morgan, is a respected profession in France. The ' was a typical European-style hotel, with common toilets on every floor, and a small place for personal cooking in the room.
Life there was documented by the photographer, who lived in the attic room. This shabby, inexpensive hotel was populated by, Ginsberg and for several months after Naked Lunch first appeared.
The actual process of publication was partly a function of its 'cut-up' presentation to the printer. Girodias had given Burroughs only ten days to prepare the manuscript for print galleys, and Burroughs sent over the manuscript in pieces, preparing the parts in no particular order. When it was published in this authentically random manner, Burroughs liked it better than the initial plan. International rights to the work were sold soon after, and Burroughs used the $3,000 advance from to buy drugs (equivalent to approximately $24,271 in today's funds ).
Naked Lunch was featured in a 1959 magazine cover story, partly as an article that highlighted the growing Beat literary movement. Burroughs left Paris for London in 1966 to take the cure again with Dr. Dent, a well-known English medical doctor who spearheaded a reputedly painless heroin withdrawal treatment using the drug. And would take this same cure in 1971, with Dr.
Dent's nurse, Smitty. Dent's apomorphine cure was also used to treat alcoholism, although it was held by several people who undertook it to be no more than straightforward aversion therapy. Burroughs however was convinced.
Following his first cure, he wrote a detailed appreciation of apomorphine and other cures, which he submitted to The British Journal of Addiction (Vol. 53, 1956) under the title 'Letter From A Master Addict To Dangerous Drugs'; this letter is appended to many editions of Naked Lunch. Though he ultimately relapsed, Burroughs ended up working out of London for six years, traveling back to the United States on several occasions, including one time escorting his son to the after the younger Burroughs had been convicted of prescription fraud in. In the 'Afterword' to the compilation of his son's two previously published novels Speed and Kentucky Ham, Burroughs writes that he thought he had a 'small habit' and left London quickly without any narcotics because he suspected the U.S. Customs would search him very thoroughly on arrival. He claims he went through the most excruciating two months of opiate withdrawal while seeing his son through his trial and sentencing, traveling with Billy to from to ensure his son entered the hospital he once spent time in as a volunteer admission. Earlier Burroughs revisited St.
Louis, Missouri, taking a large advance from to write an article about his trip back to St. Louis, one that was eventually published in, after Burroughs refused to alter the style for Playboy's publishers. In 1968 Burroughs joined, and in covering the for magazine. Southern and Burroughs, who had first become acquainted in London, would remain lifelong friends and collaborators.
In 1972, Burroughs and Southern unsuccessfully attempted to adapt Naked Lunch for the screen in conjunction with American game-show producer. Burroughs supported himself and his addiction by publishing pieces in small literary presses. His avant-garde reputation grew internationally as the hippie counterculture discovered his earlier works. He developed a close friendship with Anthony Balch and lived with a young hustler named John Brady who continuously brought home young women despite Burroughs' protestations. In the midst of this personal turmoil, Burroughs managed to complete two works: a novel written in format, (1969); and the traditional prose-format novel (1971).
In the 1960s, Burroughs joined and then left the. In talking about the experience, he claimed that the techniques and philosophy of Scientology helped him and that he felt that further study into Scientology would produce great results. He was skeptical of the organization itself, and felt that it fostered an environment that did not accept critical discussion.
His subsequent critical writings about the church and his review of by led to a battle of letters between Burroughs and Scientology supporters in the pages of magazine. In 1974, concerned about his friend's well-being, Allen Ginsberg gained for Burroughs a contract to teach at the. Burroughs successfully withdrew from heroin use and moved to New York. He eventually found an apartment, affectionately dubbed 'The Bunker', on the of Manhattan. The dwelling was a partially converted gym, complete with lockers and communal showers. The building fell within New York City policies that made it extremely cheap; it was only about four hundred dollars a month until 1981 when the rent control rules changed, doubling the rent overnight. Burroughs added 'teacher' to the list of jobs he did not like, as he lasted only a semester as a professor; he found the students uninteresting and without much creative talent.
Although he needed income desperately, he turned down a teaching position at the for $15,000 a semester. 'The teaching gig was a lesson in never again. You were giving out all this energy and nothing was coming back.'
His savior was the newly arrived, twenty-one-year-old book seller and Beat Generation devotee, who worked for Burroughs part-time as a secretary as well as in a. It was Grauerholz who floated the idea of reading tours, something similar to rock and roll touring, or stand-up comedian dates in clubs across the country. Grauerholz had managed several rock bands in Kansas and took the lead in booking for Burroughs reading tours that would help support him throughout the next two decades.
It raised his public profile, eventually aiding in his obtaining new publishing contracts. Through Grauerholz, Burroughs became a monthly columnist for the noted popular culture magazine, for which he interviewed 's in 1975. Burroughs decided to relocate back to the United States permanently in 1976. He then began to associate with New York cultural players such as, and, frequently entertaining them at the Bunker; he also visited venues like to watch the likes of Patti Smith perform. Throughout early 1977, Burroughs collaborated with Southern and on a screen adaptation of Junky.
Financed by a reclusive acquaintance of Burroughs, the project lost traction after financial problems and creative disagreements between Hopper and Burroughs. In 1976, was eating dinner with his father and Allen Ginsberg in, at Ginsberg’s poetry school at 's when he began to vomit blood. Burroughs senior had not seen his son for over a year and was alarmed at his appearance when Billy arrived at Ginsberg’s apartment. Although Billy had successfully published two short novels in the 1970s, and was deemed by literary critics like as a bona fide 'second generation beat writer', his brief marriage to a teenage waitress had disintegrated. Under his constant drinking, there were long periods where Billy was out of contact with any of his family or friends.
The diagnosis was so complete that the only treatment was a rarely performed liver transplant operation. Fortunately, the was one of two places in the nation that performed transplants under the pioneering work of Dr. Billy underwent the procedure and beat the thirty-percent survival odds. His father spent many months in 1976 and 1977 in Colorado, helping Billy through many additional surgeries and complications. Ted Morgan’s biography asserts that their relationship was not spontaneous and lacked real warmth or intimacy. Allen Ginsberg was supportive to both Burroughs and his son throughout the long period of recovery. In London, Burroughs had begun to write what would become the first novel of a trilogy.
Between 1981 and 1987, he published (1981); (1983); and (1987). Grauerholz helped edit Cities when it was first rejected by Burroughs' long-time editor Dick Seaver at Holt Rinehart, after it was deemed too disjointed. The novel was written as a straight narrative and then chopped up into a more random pattern, leaving the reader to sort through the characters and events. This technique was definitely different from the author's earlier cut-up methods, which were organically accidental from the start. Nevertheless, the novel was reassembled and published, still without a straight linear form, but with fewer breaks in the story.
The back-and-forth sway of the read replicated the theme of the trilogy; time-travel adventures where Burroughs's narrators rewrite episodes in history and thus reform mankind. Reviews were mixed for Cities. Novelist and critic panned the work in, saying Burroughs was boring readers with repetitive episodes of fantasy and sexual strangulation that lacked any comprehensible or; other reviewers, like, argued that Burroughs was shaping a new literary 'mythography'. In 1981, Billy Burroughs died in Florida. He had cut off contact with his father several years before, even publishing an article in Esquire magazine claiming the author had poisoned his life and revealing that he had been molested by one of his father's friends as a fourteen-year-old while visiting his father in Tangier, something that he had previously kept to himself. The had not cured his urge to drink, and Billy suffered from serious health complications years after the operation.
He had stopped taking his drugs and was found near the side of a Florida highway by a stranger. He died shortly afterwards. Burroughs was in New York when he heard from Allen Ginsberg of Billy's death. Burroughs, by 1979, was once again addicted to. The cheap heroin that was easily purchased outside his door on the Lower East Side 'made its way' into his veins, coupled with 'gifts' from the overzealous if well-intentioned admirers who frequently visited the Bunker. Although Burroughs would have episodes of being free from heroin, from this point until his death he was regularly addicted to the drug. He died in 1997 on a maintenance program.

In an introduction to, James Grauerholz (who managed Burroughs's reading tours in the 1980s and 1990s) mentions that part of his job was to deal with the “underworld” in each city to secure the author’s needed drugs. Later years in Kansas. Burroughs moved to, in 1981 and lived the remainder of his life there, at 1927 Learnard Avenue. He once told a Wichita Eagle reporter that he was content to live in Kansas, saying, “The thing I like about Kansas is that it’s not nearly as violent, and it’s a helluva lot cheaper. And I can get out in the country and fish and shoot and whatnot.” In 1984 he signed a seven-book deal with after he signed with literary agent Andrew Wylie. This deal included the publication rights to the 1953 unpublished novel.
With this money he purchased a small bungalow for $29,000. He was finally inducted into the in 1983 after several attempts by Allen Ginsberg to get him accepted. He attended the induction ceremony in May 1983.
Remarked the induction of Burroughs into the Academy proved 's point that capitalistic society had a great ability to incorporate its one-time outsiders. Burroughs became a counterculture figure and inspired 1970s rock band. In the 1980s he collaborated with performers ranging from 's and to, and, and in 's 1989 film, playing a character based on a short story he published in, '.
In 1990, he released the spoken word album, with musical back-up from producers and Nelson Lyon, and band. A collaboration with musicians and resulted in a collection of short prose, Smack My Crack, later released as a spoken word album in 1987. He also collaborated with Tom Waits and director to create, a play which opened at the Thalia Theatre in in 1990, to critical acclaim, and was later performed all over Europe and the U.S. In 1991, with Burroughs's sanction, director took on the seemingly impossible task of adapting into a full-length feature film. The film opened to critical acclaim. In 1982 in Lawrence, Kansas, Burroughs developed a painting technique whereby he created abstract compositions by placing spray paint cans some distance in front of blank surfaces, and then shooting at the paint cans with a shotgun.
These splattered and shot panels and canvasses were first exhibited in the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in New York City in 1987. By this time he had developed a comprehensive visual art practice, using ink, spray paint, collage and unusual things such as mushrooms and plungers to apply the paint. He created file-folder paintings featuring these mediums as well as 'automatic calligraphy' inspired by Brion Gysin. He originally used the folders to mix pigments before observing that they could be viewed as art in themselves. Until his last years, he prolifically created visual art. Burroughs' work has since been featured in over 50 international galleries and museums including Royal Academy of the Arts, Centre Pompidou, Guggenheim Museum, ZKM Karlsruhe, Sammlung Falckenberg, New Museum, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles County Museum, and Whitney Museum of American Art. Since 1997, several posthumous collections of Burroughs's work have been published.
A few months after his death, a collection of writings spanning his entire career, Word Virus, was published (according to the book's introduction, Burroughs himself approved its contents prior to his death). Aside from numerous previously released pieces, Word Virus also included what was promoted as one of the few surviving fragments of, a then-unpublished novel by Burroughs and Kerouac (ultimately, however, the complete work would be published in 2008). A collection of journal entries written during the final months of Burroughs's life was published as the book Last Words in 2000. Publication of a memoir by Burroughs entitled Evil River by has been delayed several times; after initially being announced for a 2005 release, Web retailers such as indicated a 2007 release, complete with an ISBN number , but no such release has, to date, occurred. In December 2007, released Everything Lost: The Latin American Journals of William S. Edited by Oliver Harris, the book contains transcriptions of journal entries made by Burroughs during the time of composing Queer and The Yage Letters., with cover art and review information.
In addition, special editions of The Yage Letters, Naked Lunch and Junkie/Junky have been published in recent years, all containing additional material and essays on the works. Early work (early 1950s):, and are relatively straightforward linear narratives, written in and about Burroughs's time in Mexico City and South America.
The cut-up period (mid-1950s to mid-1960s): is a fragmentary collection of 'routines' from – manuscripts written in Tangier, Paris, London, as well as of some other texts written in South America such as 'The Composite City', blending into the fiction also heavily drawn from The Word Hoard:, also referred to as ' or 'the Nova Epic', self-described by Burroughs as an attempt to create 'a mythology for the space age'. Also derives from this period. Experiment and subversion (mid-1960s to mid-1970s): This period saw Burroughs continue experimental writing with increased political content and branching into multimedia such as film and sound recording. The only major novel written in this period was, but he also wrote dozens of published articles, short stories, scrap books and other works, several in collaboration with Brion Gysin. The major anthologies representing work from this period are, and. The Red Night trilogy (mid-1970s to mid-1980s): The books, and came from Burroughs in a final, mature stage, creating a complete mythology. Critics constantly complain that writers are lacking in standards, yet they themselves seem to have no standards other than personal prejudice for literary criticism.
(.) such standards do exist. Set up three criteria for criticism: 1. What is the writer trying to do?
How well does he succeed in doing it? Does the work exhibit 'high seriousness'? That is, does it touch on basic issues of good and evil, life and death and the human condition. I would also apply a fourth criterion (.) Write about what you know. More writers fail because they try to write about things they don't know than for any other reason. Burroughs is often called one of the greatest and most influential writers of the 20th century, most notably by whose quote on Burroughs, 'The only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius', appears on many Burroughs publications. Others consider his concepts and attitude more influential than his.
Prominent admirers of Burroughs's work have included British critic and biographer, the, the philosopher and the authors, and. Burroughs had a profound influence on the German writer, who in addition to being his German translator was a novelist in his own right and frequently wrote cut-up texts in a manner reminiscent of Burroughs. Drugs, homosexuality and death, common among Burroughs's themes, have been taken up by, of whom Burroughs said, 'Dennis Cooper, God help him, is a born writer'. Cooper, in return, wrote, in his essay 'King Junk', 'along with, and, Burroughs helped make homosexuality seem cool and highbrow, providing gay liberation with a delicious edge'.
Writer has frequently referenced this aspect of Burroughs's work. Burroughs's writing continues to be referenced years after his death; for example, a November 2004 episode of the TV series included an evil character named Dr. Benway (named for an amoral physician who appears in a number of Burroughs's works.) This is an echo of the hospital scene in the movie, made during Burroughs's lifetime, in which both Dr. Benway and Mr. Lee (a Burroughs pen name) are paged. I first heard of the 23 Enigma from William S.
Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch, Nova Express, etc. According to Burroughs, he had known a certain Captain Clark, around 1960 in Tangier, who once bragged that he had been sailing 23 years without an accident. That very day, Clark’s ship had an accident that killed him and everybody else aboard. Furthermore, while Burroughs was thinking about this crude example of the irony of the gods that evening, a bulletin on the radio announced the crash of an airliner in Florida, USA.
The pilot was another Captain Clark and the flight was Flight 23. In 1992 he recorded 'Quick Fix' with, which appeared on their single for '. The single featured cover art by Burroughs and a remix of the song dubbed the 'W.S.B. Burroughs also made an appearance in the video for 'Just One Fix'. The same year he also recorded the EP; Burroughs reads the, while creates layers of guitar feedback and distortion. Bassist is featured on the cover as the titular 'Priest'.
The track on the 13th Ministry album 'Thanx but No Thanx' makes use of William S. Burroughs's poem 'A Thanksgiving Prayer', as read by Sgt. Burroughs played Opium Jones in the 1966 Conrad Rooks, which also featured cameo roles by Allen Ginsberg, and others. In 1968, an abbreviated—77 minutes as opposed to the original's 104 minutes—version of 's 1922 film was released, subtitled Witchcraft Through The Ages. This version, produced by Anthony Balch, featured an eclectic jazz score by and narration by Burroughs.
He also appeared alongside Brion Gysin in a number of short films in the 1960s directed by Balch. 's book details Burroughs film work at length, covering his collaborations with Balch and Burroughs' theories of film. Burroughs subsequently made in a number of other films and videos, such as 's, an elliptic story about the first in which Burroughs plays a beekeeper, and by Klaus Maeck. He played an aging junkie priest in 's 1989 film. He also appears briefly at the beginning of Van Sant's (based on the Tom Robbins ), in which he is seen crossing a city street; as the noise of the city rises around him he pauses in the middle of the intersection and speaks the single word 'ominous'. Van Sant's short film 'Thanksgiving Prayer' features Burroughs reading the poem 'Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, 1986', from, intercut with a collage of black and white images.
Burroughs appears in the first part of by and during the and is described as a person devoid of anger, passion, indignation, hope, or any other recognizable human emotion. He is presented as a polar opposite of, as Ginsberg believed in everything and Burroughs believed in nothing.
Wilson would recount in his having interviewed both Burroughs and Ginsberg for the day the riots began, as well as his experiences with Shea during the riots, providing some detail on the creation of the fictional sequence.
