Book Description
William Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch and Junky, has been in every sense an outlaw: he has spent time in jail: he shot and killed his wife; he was a drug addict, forced to spend most of his life in exile from America, often on the run; he was openly homosexual at a time when homosexuality was a criminal offence. Literary Outlaw is the compulsively readable biography of one of the most outrageous, most original and most influential figures of our time.
