Edited by James Grauerholz & Ira Silverberg
This authoritative anthology of Burroughs' writing is intended as much for the general reader as for the scholar and brings together a selection of this most important work - beginning with his earliest writing (including a chapter from a never-before-seen collaborative novel with Jack Kerouac) and his final book, 'My Education', a series of meditations on his own extraordinary dreamlife. Biographical prefaces to each chapter, and 'Beat' historian Ann Douglas's introductory essay, provide an overview of the life and work of this unique writer.
