BY RICHARD KADREY AND SUZANNE STEFANAC w illiam Burroughs' raw-boned figure haunted us long before his death. For nearly half a century, he infected our literature, seeding it with his obsessions, suspicions and passions. In his brutal honesty, we began to learn something new about truth and humor and maybe even love. Of the many authors who have acknowledged his influence, few have been as unflinching or provocative as J.G. Ballard. From the chromey auto-eroticism of "Crash" to the surrendered innocence of "Empire of the Sun," Ballard has refined a style that cuts through the moralism and sentimentality that blunt so much contemporary writing. After Burroughs' death, Ballard spoke to us by phone from his home in Shepperton, England. William Burroughs was someone who was suspicious of language and words, but his whole life was defined by them. Do you see a contradiction here? Perhaps the essential writer's contradiction? I think Burroughs was very much aware of the way in which language could be manipulated to mean absolutely the opposite of what it seems to mean. But that's something he shared with George Orwell. He was always trying to go through the screen of language to find some sort of truth that lay on the other side. I think his whole cut-up approach was an attempt to cut through the apparent manifest content of language to what he hoped might be some sort of more truthful world. A world of meaning that lay beyond. In books like "The Ticket that Exploded" and "The Soft Machine," you see this attempt to go through language to something beyond. If there is a paradox, I think it lies somewhere here.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback William (Seward) Burroughs (1914-1997) American writer of experimental novels, who lived long times in Mexico City, Tanger, Paris, and London. Burroughs's homosexual themes in THE NAKED LUNCH (1959) and the frankness with which he dealt with his own experiences as a drug addict sparkled the last major obscenity trial in U.S., but won him a following among writers, musicians, and film makers. Burroughs produced the bulk of his writing after he moved to London and took an apomorphine cure under the direction of Dr John Dent. "We have lunch on the terrace of his mountain house. A heavily wooded garden with pools and paths stretches down to a cliff over the sea. Lunch is turbot in cream sauce, grouse, wild asparagrass, peaches in wine. Quite a change from the grey cafeteria food I have been subjected to in Western cities where I pass myself off as one of the faceless apathetic citizens searched and questioned by the police on every corner, set upon by brazen muggers, stumbling home to my burglarized apartment to find the narcotics squad going through my medicine chest again." (from The Wild Boys William S. Burroughs was born in St. Louis, Mo. into a successful business family. His mother was a direct descendant of Robert E. Lee, his grandfather the inventor of the Burroughs adding machine. The Burroughs Corporation ultimately merged with the Sperry Corporation to create Unisys. By the time of Burroughs's birth, the family's stake in the company had been sold off. After Burroughs graduated in English literature from Harvard University in 1936, he traveled in Europe, where he studied medicine in Venice for a year. While in Austria he married a Jewish woman who wanted to escape the Nazis.

William Seward Burroughs, born February 5, 1914, died August 2, 1997, at age 83. He suffered a heart attack and died about 24 hours later, in his hometown of Lawrence, Kansas. We're offering a Web Memorial The William S. Burroughs Files Inter Web Zone This project isn't comprehensive or very up to date but has served as a collaborative unofficial source of electronic Burroughs info since 1991. Buroughs' work and especially his experiments with tape and literary cutups have had a profound effect on me, directly and indiretcly via the work of Daevid Allen, Brian Eno, David Bowie and others. W e're offering a memorial zone with a comments/guestbook area for you to share your thoughts, memories and anecdotes about WSB. This Burroughs site started as a list of Buroughs related recordings on Usenet in 1991 and it grew into the first site on the web dedicated to Burroughs and his work. I've long since given up hope for keeping this project up to date. But I'll spend a few days trying to offer a better multimedia retrospective here since the passing of Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg this year are significant events to me.

Birthplace St Louis, Missouri, US Education Harvard, US Other jobs Parental support allowed him to avoid the daylight world of work, though at one point he set up as a Texas farmer, growing oranges, cotton and marijuana. Did you know? He has loomed large in popular culture, naming a musical genre - heavy metal - and in 1993 modelling for Gap. Critical verdict Always assured of adolescent adulation, from Naked Lunch on ("strident and illiterate to its heart of pulp"), critical reaction has been sharply divided - though his surprising endurance was proof that if you last long enough, the establishment develops an affection for you. The cut-up technique can make mid-period Burroughs taste over-chewed (if you've read Naked Lunch, then you've read The Soft Machine), but his last major work, the 80s Western Lands trilogy, was praised for its new discipline and narrative accessibility (while still including plenty of homoerotic cowboys, Egyptian gods and putrefying giant insects).

William Burroughs Pitcher William Burroughs American Writer Burroughs was a major influence on the first generation of Beat writers. Always controversial, even sympathetic critics have had difficulty understanding Burroughs' ethos. Like Neal Cassady and Lew Welch, and like Kerouac , Burroughs could not adapt to conventional environments. Burroughs met Ginsberg and Kerouac, writers nearly ten years younger, in New York in the 1940s. His fascination with the underworld (drugs, crime, guns) fascinated the young college writers. It was Burroughs' friend, Herbert Huncke who used the word "beat" to describe the existential condition of the social outcast. Burroughs began writingin his mid-thirties. His first novel, Junkie , depicts the netherworld of the dope addict. Other works include Naked Lunch and Nova. In Kerouac's novels, Burroughs is variously represented as Will Denison ( The Town and the City ), Will Hubbard ( Vanity of Dulouz ), Old Bull Lee ( On The Road ), Frank Carmody ( The Subterraneans ), Bull Hubbard (

33. WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS - The Hard Man Of Hip But that s the glory of william S. burroughs, who died at 83 in Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Kansas, on Saturday, August 2, after suffering a heart attack. http://www.thei.aust.com/bill/wsburroughs.html

So Bill Burroughs is dead. Must be a hell of a party they're having right now in heaven, hell or wherever it that we end up when the flimsy mask of reality is ripped away. Bill knew a bit about that too. He was good at giving reality a good rent and tear. In fact, what Burroughs thought reality was probably remains a mystery. But that's the glory of William S. Burroughs, who died at 83 in Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Kansas, on Saturday, August 2, after suffering a heart attack. Burroughs was, as has already been said of him, "the stone-faced godfather of the 'Beat Generation'". And now he's hanging loose with Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac in some big space somewhere, talking it down in that gravel-rash croak. It's been a bad year. We've lost the great ones; the guys who saw it through that explosion of thought and passionate polemics and politics that the '50s and '60s, in all their stoned and, sometimes misguided, glory represent. First Tim, then Allen, now Bill. It's dubious you could lose a more definitive trio of great thinkers, great minds, great experientialists and great humanisers in one year. Worse, there will be no more words. To rip away these men is to scar the landscape of American and world literature indelibly. Not that everything they ever wrote was peerless prose. At their worst all three were self-indulgent shamans, as much in love with their own idealism and zeal as with the art of communicating understandable concept and philosophy to a world at large.

40. Bright Lights Film Journal | The Source Documentary on Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, william burroughs, and all things Beatnik http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/26/thesource.html

An uneven new documentary looks at all things Beat BY GARY MORRIS The Beats have returned with a vengeance. New editions of On the Road are rolling off the presses; interest in Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs is at an all-time high; Beat women like Diane di Prima are getting some well-deserved attention, as are black Beats such as Amiri Baraka. Like other counterculture movements, the Beat generation has for some been reduced to a fashion statement — chinos, T-shirt, and masculine scowl. It’s also been neatly coopted by corporations seeking street credibility — even Ginsberg did a Gap ad before he died. It’s not hard to imagine Kerouac’s face next to John and Yoko’s in those duplicitous "Think Different" billboards from Apple. The Source looks at these issues and the whole history of the Beats in a intriguing, if ultimately rather shallow, documentary that’s less a linear biography of the movement than a kind of "Beat chic" sampler. (No real surprise here: Workman’s also responsible for those slick, empty montages at the Academy Awards every year.) This collage portrait moves giddily from the ‘40s to the ‘90s, from historical footage to Hollywood send-ups of Beat culture, from realism to re-creation via a trio of actors who impersonate Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Burroughs.
