Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Unknown. Octavo, hardcove, VG in lightly fading light blue pictorial dj. Previous labels removed. Burroughs, in these essays, writes about himself, his interests, his influences, his friends and foes, and offers candid not always flattering assessments of Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joseph Conrad, Graham Greene, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Samuel Beckett, and Marcel Proust. He also comments on science and the often dubious paths into which it seems intent on leading us, whether into outer or inner space. His comments on genetics and mind control are as prescient as they are probing. He reviews his reviewers, explains his famous "cut-up" method, discusses the role coincidence has played in his life and work. As satirist and parodist, he has no peer, as these varied works, written over three decades, amply reveal. 205 pp. Book. Seller Inventory # 49887
