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.

Description de la librairie

I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!
