Andy Warhole is the true pseud art grifter that would have racked in millions from the void.

With Chatgpt he could have released a book everyday with that retarded cut and paste writing.

You couldn't get a writer like Burroughs anymore. The left would reject him for his views on race/class elitism, and the right would reject him for being a gay degenerate.
Truly a one of a kind man. Probably CIA. But overall, one of the most influential people of the 20th century and no one can hold a torch to him.

He died decades ago FFS.
Moreover, he died at a ripe old age, after a lifetime of drug abuse. There's a moral in that for all of us.

His best book is Junkie, which is really the opposite of the cut up method.

By predicting the porn saturated nightmare sewer of modern culture he has emerged as one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time

The prehensile anus is the ultimate symbol of the modern world

Go with Naked Lunch so you can learn where Pynchon got his edgy humor form

>>24724055
Both of them diddled with boys. The only difference is that Ginsberg wrote poetryslop

"There are sob sisters; there are the social slobberers who insist on compassion being shown to the muggers, to the dope fiends, to the throat slashers, to the beatniks, to the prostitutes, to the homosexuals, to the punks, so that today the decent man is practically off the reservation."

~ Ven. Abp. Fulton J. Sheen

Sheen then told his viewers to "hate the sin... and love the sinner."

i read junkie and after that naked lunch. Its not as bad or convoluted as people say. He picks up on a lot of themes he described in junkie, but just written more surreal and absurd. Here and there some stuff more fictional and more drugpsychosis seeping through. But if i hadnt read junkie before, than it wouldnt have made any sense at all for me so i think you are on the right track. I have read cities of the red light lately, but sadly noticed that this guy is kind of a one trick pony. He just describes the same scenes he witnessed in reallife or in his hash-and opium induced dreams and just packages them differently for all his books. Still a fun read, but dunno at one point it looses its novelty and edge when you read about the hundreds boy being hanged while he ejaculates all over the room

"Some citizens is hung up on pre-puberty kicks. I don't dig it. I say any man can't wait until fourteen is no better than a degenerate."
