I must admit I only got into Burroughs in a big way in the last 2 years, ignoring most of his stuff because of the disgusting bad taste 'beatnik' literature left in my mind as a late -teen
Of his work, I *LOVE* his 'cut-up' trilogy of Soft Machine, Ticket That Exploded and Nova Express, with Ticket being my very favourite. I just can't get enough of his splattered pulp, sci-fi, sexual, techno ultra-violence mind fuck universe of anti-logic, terrific fun to read both straight and off yr gonads. The guy was just so fucking brilliant, and I guess being a respecter of the rock, it's amazing how his literature just completely blew minds of young musicians and counter-culture music fans in the 60s, 70s, 80s, shit even NOW.
Beautiful, life affirming stuff. Yep William S. IS the BLOKE!
Was wondering what other dissensans think of Burroughs werk?
