Scott Fitzgerald, Joseph Conrad, Graham Greene, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Samuel Beckett, ... Weiterlesen

During the late 1960s, when peace, drugs, and free love were direct challenges to conventional society, Allen Ginsberg, treasurer of Committee on Poetry, Inc., funded what he hoped was »a haven for comrades in distress« in rural upstate New York.

William Burroughs' life was often as extreme as his prose. The second volume of his letters documents the time after the notorious publication of »Naked Lunch« in 1959, as he drifted away from the Beats and on towards new experiences in Europe and North Africa. We see the artist and pioneer of the cut-up method, Brion Gysin, gradually replace Ginsberg ... Weiterlesen

UK 2008, 184 pp., brochure, € 17.95

In this funny, nightmarish masterpiece of imaginative excess, grotesque characters engage in acts of violent one-upmanship, boundless riches mangle a corner of Africa into a Bacchanalian utopia, and technology, flesh and violence fuse with and undo each other. A fragmentary, freewheeling novel, it sees wild boys engage in vigorous, ritualistic sex and drug taking, as well as pranksterish guerrilla warfare ... Weiterlesen

Kostenloser Versand ab 25 Euro Bestellwert.
Burroughs' first novel, a largely autobiographical account of the constant cycle of drug dependency, cures and relapses, remains the most unflinching, unsentimental account of addiction ever written. Through junk neighbourhoods in New York, New Orleans and Mexico City, through time spent kicking, time spent dealing and time rolling drunks for money, through junk sickness and a sanatorium, »Junky« is a ...

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 ... Weiterlesen
