How do you feel about William S. Burroughs?
>memeoplasm
What has he done for me lately?
junky was ok. his automatic writing meme didn't make for very interesting writing.
Brilliant. His nova trilogy left a significant impact on my thinking.

I'm finishing Naked Lunch right now. Read it a few years and couldn't get into it because of the lingo. Read Junk and Queer, got used to it and holy shit, I love this book. Very much to starting the Nova trilogy soon, how would you compare it to Naked Lunch?

Stylistically it's quite similar to naked lunch, but it's also exceedingly more ambitious. Naked lunch is a prelude to nova's schizophrenic symphony. Enjoy.

Great writer. If only he could have managed his ambitions more efficiently he could have easily written a spiritual successor to Finnegans or Ulysses.

scatterbrained, narcotics induced hallucination under the guise of profundity. He took this concept to paper and scissors. Reading too much into it.

Well, he's a writer.

Queer > Junky
>>8238301
they're not really comparable
Loved Junky, Queer was an interesting one too. Now, as for Naked Lunch, i don't really consider it a book, so to speak. It's an abstract concept, that just happen to resemble a book. Full of nightmare/dream imagery, symbolism and a feeling of things more than a coherent narrative. In any case, i enjoy opening it some days, a random chapter at a time, when i need a certain literary kick, so to speak, to kickstart a new prose project or to get into the proper state of mind for a paranoia fueled poetry.
The Nova trilogy was a bit too much for me, but none the less enjoyable
