More on William S. Burroughs
Description from Wikipedia:
William Seward Burroughs II (February 05, 1914 – August 02, 1997; pronounced: /ˈbʌroʊz/) was an American novelist, essayist, social critic, painter and spoken word performer.
Much of Burroughs's work is semi-autobiographical, drawn from his experiences as an opiate addict, a condition that marked the last fifty years of his life. A primary member of the Beat Generation, he was an avant-garde author who affected popular culture as well as literature. In 1975, he was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
