NarcisseDeD rated 4 months ago- The amateur biography of William S. Burroughs, one of the greatest and most (in)famous american writer. You can pray or hear messages from his ghost too. You can even watch him and hear his strange and beautiful voice...

- I am a fan of Burroughs and have read almost all his work. JUNKY is brilliant.

- William Seward Burroughs "Language is a virus." "We are digested and become nothing here" "Urgent warning. I think I'll stay here in shriveling envelopes of larval flesh... One of the nastiest cases ever produced by this department." "My purpose in writing has always been to express human potentials and purposes relevant to the Space Age." "Every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage."

- Perhaps William was a prophet of sorts. The following descriptive passage reminds me of all the exhibitionist hipsters that frequent the coffee shop around the corner (myself included). Despite the showiness, the hip crowd still attains a kind homogeny, a dispossessed yet hegemonic conformity. Portland, what a fun place. "The chic thing is to dress in expensive tailor-made rags and all the queens are camping about in wild-boy drag. There are Bowery suits that appear to be stained with urine and vomit which on closer inspection turn out to be intricate embroideries of fine gold thread. There are clochard suits of the finest linen, shabby gentility suits . . . felt hats seasoned by old junkies . . . loud cheap pimp suits that turn out to be not so cheap. The loudness is a subtle harmony of colours only the best Poor Boy shops and turn out . . . It is the double take and many carry it much further to as many as six takes."
