>Burroughs was not only the grandson of the inventor of the calculating machine, but also the nephew of ‘Poison’ Ivy Lee the head publicist of the Rockefeller Family.Wtf that explains a lot
>>25171164What does it explain exactly?
>>25171249The gleaming snaggletooth
>>25171249Why he had such a personal and seething preoccupation with coverups and language control
>>25171249I would do heroin as well if that was my family
>>25172383Exactly! And he says they found emotional expression embarrassing. So i can only imagine the ever-secretive ghost of Ivy Lee, having infinite shame and frustration at the heroin addicted libertine who was his nephew. And im sure Burroughs got a kick out of that himself especially when he names Lee directly in his final recording of Last Words of Hassan Sabbah, when he names ‘Luce Getty Lee Rockefeller’
>>25171164>burroughschizo is at it againI really hope you aren't the same guy as simulacraschizo, but I think that given your positing patterns are so similar you probably are.
>>25173392What’s the schizo part? If you’re the guy who called me a Burroughs hater last week for calling him Joan Vollmer’s murderer, then you were wrong for thinking i was shitting on the guy, im a fan of the guy, im not the local hater
>>25171164Just another decadent spoiled brat whose material abundance outpaced any wisdom. Fuck this degenerate.
>>25174163That was me, and I didn't disagree with the Vollmer part, you claimed he killed his little brown rentboy (iirc).>>25174171He's the only post-modernist worth reading. Everyone that followed from Pynchon to Acker is a pale imitation.
>>25174171Kind of lol. Funny to look into it and realize
>>25174176Also yeah im suspicious about Kiki. I dont think its out of the question
>>25171596>>25172806He was able to get away with killing his wife and diddling kids in tangiers becuase he came from an affulent family. It's not that complicated>>25174171this
>>25171164I thought it was well-known that he was born into wealth. Haven't read anything by him but can't deny his influence
>>25171164Your first encounter with nepo babies or what? Protip: LITERALLY EVERYONE in any kind of art/literature/other comfy jobs is someone's nephew like that and they are people who never really had to work a real job for a living.
>>25175561Thats what i figure
