Along with Jack
Kerouac
and Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs
(1914-1997)
is an iconic figure of the Beat generation. In this revealing
study Phil Baker traces this cult writer's life
-
from the New York
underworld of the
1940s
to Mexico and the South American jungle,
Tangier and the writing of Naked Lunch, to Paris and the Beat Hotel,
1960s
Iondon,
and small-town Kansas
-
in order to investigate his work
as an autobiographical explorer of altered consciousness and inner
space, reporting back from the frontiers of his experience.
After accidentally shooting his wife in
1951,
Burroughs felt it was
his destiny to struggle with the 'Ugly Spirit' that had possessed him.
His early absorption in psychoanalysis gave way to Scientology and
demonology, and he came to believe in an increasingly magical universe,
sending curses and operating a 'wishing machine'. His paranoid vision
and his lifelong preoccupation with freedom and its opposites
-
all
forms of addiction and control
-
finally evolved into a concern with
ecology and an all-out ethical conflict between good people who live
and let live, or 'Johnsons
,
and those who impose themselves on others,
wrecking the planet in the process.
Drawing on newly available material, and rooted in Burroughs's
vulnerable emotional life and seminal friendships, this insightful book
provides a lucid and powerful account of his career and significance. |
