'He felt a sudden deep pity for the finger joint that lay there on the dresser, a few drops of blood gathering around the white bone.'

These letters cover the activities of Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Jack Kerouac in the years that gave birth to the Beat Generation. Written mostly to Ginsberg or Kerouac, the letters provide a rare glimpse into Burroughs''s psyche, revealing his struggle with drug addiction, his confusion over his sexual identity, and his search for a form fluid enough to mirror his mind and art.

In alternating chapters that reveal a nascent period in their development as two of the twentieth century''s most influential writers, Beat Generation icons William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac''s And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks is an electrifying true-life mystery, including afterword by James Grauerholtz in Penguin Modern Classics.This is a hardboiled crime novel, and a true story. In 1944, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs, then still unknown writers, were both arrested following a murder: one of their friends had stabbed another and then come to them for advice - neither had told the police. Later they wrote this fictionalised account of that summer - of a group of friends in wartime New York, moving through each other''s apartments, drinking, necking, talking and taking drugs and haphazardly drifting towards a bloody crime. Unpublished for years, And the Hippos were Boiled in their Tanks is a remarkable insight into the lives and literary development of two great writers.

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 Allen Ginsberg about his experiments with the strange drug, using it to travel through time and space, to derange his senses - the perfect drug for the author of the wild decentred books that followed. Years later, Ginsberg writes back as he follows in Burroughs'' footsteps, and the drug worse and more profound than he had imagined.

Authoritative biography of cult writer and author of NAKED LUNCH, William Burroughs (1914-1997).It has been 50 years since Norman Mailer asserted, ''I think that William Burroughs is the only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius.'' This assessment holds true today. No-one since then has taken such risks in their writing, developed such individual radical political ideas, or spanned such a wide range of media - Burroughs has written novels, memoirs, technical manuals and poetry, he has painted, made collages, taken thousands of photographs, made visual scrapbooks, produced hundreds of hours of experimental tapes, acted in movies and recorded more CDs than most rock groups.Made a cult figure by the publication of NAKED LUNCH, Burroughs was a mentor to the 1960s youth culture. Underground papers referred to him as ''Uncle Bill'' and he ranked alongside Bob Dylan and the Beatles, Buckminster Fuller and R.D. Laing as one of the ''gurus'' of the youth movement who might just have the secret of the universe.Based upon extensive research, this biography paints a new portrait of Burroughs, making him real to the reader and showing how he was perceived by his contemporaries in all his guises - from icily ...

Již od svého vstupu do světa literatury budil americký prozaik William S. Burroughs náležitý rozruch - a i to je dosti slabý výraz na emoce, jež jeho knihy provázely. Byly zakazovány a nechápány, autor sám byl jedněmi zatracován a proklínán jako šarlatán a literární pervert, jinými naopak vynášen jako věrozvěst nových pohledů i přístupů. Bylo tomu již v případě jeho skandály proslaveného arcidíla Nahý oběd, a podobné reakce provázely i jeho další román Hebká mašinka (The Soft Machine). Nejen že zde Burroughs rozpoutává orgie fantazie překračující veškeré hranice a tabu, jeho postavy putují časem, svádějí boje se zrůdnými silami a magií, to vše na pozadí dusné halucinující atmosféry a neskutečných kulis - zároveň nám ovšem Burroughs předvádí, jak bojovat s ovládáním myšlení, rozkrývá mechanismy veškerých závislostí a dokazuje, v čem spočívá jeho největší síla: v propojení naprosté autorské odvahy a subverze s mistrným literárním ztvárněním i těch zdánlivě nejnemožnějších idejí.

Ve druhém svazku své "střihové" trilogie nás William S. Burroughs ještě více vtahuje do hrozivě temného světa nepředstavitelných bojů s přízračnými postavami z galaktického podsvětí, jež mají jedinou touhu: zničit náš svět a přetvořit jej v místo, proti němuž je peklo rajskou zahradou. Zároveň demaskuje všechny ty parasitující instituce, korporace a správní rady, zrádce humanity i cynické lháře - a vyzývá-li k aktivnímu odboji, není to patetický apel, ale strohá výzva postavit se hrozivé konspiraci. Burroughsova Nova Express je dnes ještě aktuálnější než v době, kdy tyto temné vize budoucnosti psal - jeho prorocké texty jsou totiž především varováním, zároveň nesené výraznou a zcela osobitou poetikou. Pohled do zrcadla, jež William Burroughs nastavuje je možná děsivý, možná hrůzný, rozhodně však pravdivý.

The most ferociously political and prophetic book of the Cut-Up Trilogy, Nova Express fires the reader into a textual outer space to show us our burning planet and to reveal the operations of the Nova Mob in all their ugliness. As with The Soft Machine and The Ticket That Exploded, William Burroughs deploys his cut-up methods to make a visionary demand that we take back the world that has been stolen from us. Edited and introduced by renowned Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris, this new edition reveals how Nova Express was cut from an extraordinary wealth of typescripts to create startling new forms of poetic possibility.The third book of Burroughs'' linguistically prophetic ''cut-up'' trilogy - following The Soft Machine and The Ticket That Exploded - Nova Express is a hilarious and Swiftian parody of bureaucracy and the frailty of the human animal.

Ve vyvrcholení Burroughsovy trilogie se v kratších prózách opět pohybujeme v krajích děsivých nočních můr, vzdáleně připomínající pralesy Jižní Ameriky, v mimozemském prostoru, ale i v ulicích Londýna a jeho podsvětí. Burroughs své povídky opět zaplnil fantastickými postavami z ještě fantastičtějších - a hrozivějších - světů a jeho mistrná koláž, pracující s prvky populární kultury, reklamy, sci-fi a detektivní prózy a popisující neznámé drogy i sex ve všech podobách, nemá za cíl šokovat, ale poukazovat. Varovat. William Burroughs je zcela nenapodobitelný, a to nejen ve svém psaní, hlavně ale v síle a pravdivosti svých idejí, které se nám snaží předat - dříve, než bude pozdě.

Poprvé byl vydán v roce 1953 a je to vůbec první kniha, kterou Burroughs publikoval.Autor se jejím prostřednictvím pokouší co možná nejpřesnějšími a nejjednoduššími slovy zachytit svou závislost na alkoholu, heroinu, morfiu a dalších drogách. Jedná se o dílo, které popisuje prakticky jen autorův vztah k drogám, jejich účinky, pocity závislosti a příhody spojené s honbou za dávkou drog. Burroughs se snaží co nejlépe přiblížit feťácké prostředí, feťáckou společnost a popisuje, proč je tak těžké se závislostí skončit.Tato kniha je stále velice aktuální, ačkoliv od jejího vzniku uplynulo již téměř půl století.

Originally written in 1952 but not published till 1985, Queer is an enigma - both an unflinching autobiographical self-portrait and a coruscatingly political novel, Burroughs' only realist love story and a montage of comic-grotesque fantasies that paved the way for his masterpiece, Naked Lunch. Set in Mexico City during the early fifties, Queer follows William Lee's hopeless pursuit of desire from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene. As Lee breaks down, the trademark Burroughsian voice emerges; a maniacal mix of self-lacerating humor and the Ugly American at his ugliest.A haunting tale of possession and exorcism, Queer is also a novel with a history of secrets, as this new edition reveals.

"In the magical universe there are no coincidences and there are no accidents. Nothing happens unless someone wills it to happen. The dogma of science is that the will cannot possibly affect external forces, and I think that''s just ridiculous. It''s as bad as the church. My viewpoint is the exact contrary of the scientific viewpoint. I believe that if you run into somebody in the street it''s for a reason. Among primitive people they say that if someone was bitten by a snake he was murdered. I believe that." -- William S Burroughs Fully revised and expanded from the limited edition chapbook that first appeared in 2012, this is the first ever in-depth consideration of the significance of Magic and the Occult in the Life & Work of the writer and counter-cultural icon.

My Education is Burroughs''s last novel, first published two years before his death in 1997. It is a book of dreams, collected over several decades and as close to a memoir as we will see. The dreams cover themes from the mundane and ordinary - conversations with his friends Allen Ginsberg or Ian Sommerville, feeding his cats, procuring drugs or sex - to the erotic, bizarre and visionary. Always a rich source of imagery in Burroughs''s own fiction, in this book dreams become a direct and powerful force in themselves.
