Description
The first in a two-volume set of the collected letters of William S. Burroughs, offering entertaining and revealing insights into his life and work within the context of a transformative cultural era. Burroughs was part of the influential Beat Movement alongside Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Neal Cassady. His letters, a constant habit alongside his struggle with addiction, shed light on his outsider status due to his homosexuality and his controversial yet impactful literary career. Sorry!
