William S. Burroughs : a life
Miles, Barry, 1943-2014
Book
Based upon extensive research, this biography paints a new portrait of William S. Burroughs, making him real to the reader and showing how he was perceived by his contemporaries in all his guises - from icily distant to voluble drunk. It shows how his writing was very much influenced by his life situation and by the people he met on his travels around America and Europe.
