Is it true that Katy was Burroughs' biggest influence?

Katy who?

I tried reading Burrough's work because I like the Cronenberg movie.
I think I probably just like Cronenberg as a film maker, because this stuff is kind of shit to be honest.

It's a lot more enjoyable when you go into it knowing it's just a bunch of occasionally amusing or interesting schizo rants than actually going in expecting an actually good book.

Call me an edge lord if you want, but I never found the book all that shocking, at least not in an "oh I'm so disturbed" way. It was really funny in my opinion.

>the young boys fucked him
Does that make it better?
