Decades ago, Norman Mailer made the assertion that “William Burroughs is the only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius,” and few writers have come close to the sheer production and effect that Burroughs had on an entire literary generation.
In his newest biographical work, Call Me Burroughs, celebrated writer Barry Miles provides a closer-than-ever glimpse of Burroughs’ legacy, from his well-known writings to his experimental recordings and visual arts projects, as well as snapshots of his personal life.
Barry is also the author of the wildly popular volume, Hippie, which lends shape and cohesion to a period of great change in American history.
Buy a copy of Call Me Burroughs or a $15 Strand gift card in order to attend this event. All options admit one person. The event will take place in the Strand’s 3rd floor Rare Book Room.
