50 years ago, Norman Mailer asserted, »Burroughs is the only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius.« Few since have taken such literary risks, developed such individual political or spiritual ideas, or spanned such a wide range of media. Burroughs wrote novels, memoirs, technical manuals, and poetry. He painted, made collages, took thousands of photographs, produced hundreds of hours of experimental recordings, acted in movies, and recorded more material than most rock bands. Burroughs was the original cult figure of the Beat Movement, and with the publication of his novel »Naked Lunch«, which was originally banned for obscenity, he became a guru to the 60s youth counterculture. This biography chronicles the last decade of Burroughs's life and examines his long-term cultural legacy. Written with the full support of the Burroughs estate and drawing from countless interviews with figures like Allen Ginsberg, Lucien Carr, and Burroughs himself, this biography gets to the heart of its notoriously mercurial subject.
