The Job
by William S. Burroughs
In these interviews, Burroughs tells the gripping story of his drug addiction and cure, and voices his often barbed views on youth, sex, drugs, writing, politics, revolution, the family, silence, organ therapy, money, and prayer.
Conversations With William S. Burroughs
by William S. Burroughs
Speaking of the Paris Review interview Alfred Kazin calls Burroughs "an engineer of the pen, a calmly interested specialist of the new processes. When Burroughs makes philosophic and scientific claims for his disorderly collections of data, we happily recognize under the externally calm surface of the interview, the kind of inner frenzy that is his genius."
With William Burroughs
by William S. Burroughs
Burroughs, the eccentric, brilliant artist who burned the bridge with logic and wrote the classic Naked Lunch, has a court recorder in Victor Bockris. Bockris has collected into a cogent whole the man's most brilliant moments of conversation, thinking, and interview repartee. This fascinating material, gleaned from the fertile time at Burroughs's New York headquarters, the Bunker (which was located on the Bowery, three blocks from CBGB), encompasses the years 1974 to 1980, and also includes a 1991 Burroughs interview from Interview magazine. The Beats' devotion to subjective experience has left readers with a profound amount of objective material to analyze and debate. Choice public and private utterances, hallucinatory and prescient diatribes such as these, remain rich sources of literary history. As Americans we find the Beats' approach to life romantic, even heroic. Tearing the walls down in the name of freedom and spirituality strikes a particularly pilgrimesque chord. With William Burroughs: A Report from the Bunker is a fascinating compendium of Burroughs-speak, so complete it can be considered a credo.

The Cat Inside
Burroughs, William S
New York:: Penguin:, 2002,. Trade paperback,. "Burroughs is best known for the wild, phantasmagoric satire NAKED LUNCH, but he has another side. America's leading literary outlaw writes with unexpected tenderness and signature intensity about his, and our 'animal others' - a meditation on the long, mysterious relationship between cats and their human hosts." Good ol' Bill. What a sick and twisted genius. One screwy mutha that loved the little fuzzies. The text here is pretty spare, and there's a significant portion of white space on each page, but if you dig cats, and you think Bill is okay, and you're interested in what appears to be a sort of cat diary, well then, you may want to have a look at this. Why am I suddenly reminded of George in OF MICE AND MEN? ( more information) Offered by Ziesing Books (United States)
