Willy the Rat has done it again standing there with his pockets out very funny veeeery funny but how how how did he get to that phone?! Discuss anything and everything Burroughs here. Metallic OP fingers proffer a board of subjects, 'The President' as Burroughs' laughing at us beyond the grave, 'Pilot K9' as Burroughs withdrawing from heroin on an airplane, and 'The Cat Inside' as a sick and sad display of a man pretending he is a guardian to mutant hallucinations after his own son died of alcoholism after being abandoned. Our facilities are at your disposal, and I am at your disposal.

Everything about this man makes me wish I could have put a bullet in the back of his head.
>>
>>25312659
Honestly i realize i relate to him a lot because he speaks the evil language of paranoia which is kind of my language, for not nearly as bad reasons, you know? Every book is a confession
>>
>>25312698
You're attitude toward him is normie-tier and I'm laughing at you because you think the opposite.

hes more eccentric than Mishima and he didnt even kill himself, its pretty cool
>>
>>25312866

Definitely not.
>>
>>25312759
Shame it seems everyone else here can't see through it all

I call the guy's semi-autobiographical works 'sick and sad' and this is your interpretation?
>>
I NEED to read Naked Lunch. The audiobook, perhaps?
>>
Ok so I began reading Naked Lunch. I started with this three-hour recording of Burroughs himself reading excerpts: https://youtu.be/fSTvKvn3DOY
The daily (nightly) urban interactions these degenerate pederasts go about is so funny. Trying to avoid each other while on their own petty crime beat. Scoring on street corners and smoking tea in men's rooms.

you should hear his voice
but then go read.

burroughs is a great way to weed the lightweights out.

I'm listening to this >>25313293
>>
>>25313293
Yep, its hilarious. I mean sure the whole operation's disgusting inside and out, but the way Burroughs writes his insert characters (which is basically every character) as guilty delusional paranoid lying name-and-face-changers who is pretending to be a cop while high so he can participate in but avoid the arrest of the other criminals for committing the same crimes as him, while ratting to the police to get them all arrested by telling us a story about what he himself did, using a fake name and pretending it was someone else.
So many funny configurations of this. I fucking love how 'Inflexible Authority' is a sideways interrogation of the Agent Lee character who actually becomes Uranian Willy during the proceedings because the interrogation was simply long enough Lee starts to withdraw from heroin and becomes Uranian Willy

>>25313962
You put it much better than I could, brother.
>>
>>25312870
Definitely is. Mishima will always be stunted by the repressed Japanese world he was in. Burroughs was far more over the line
>>
>>25314654
I notice the Japanese love Burroughs. Steely Dan being from Yokohama, I suppose?
>>
>>25314654
Mishima never took the green deal and that's a fact
>>
>>25314654
Definitely not. Burroughs was just a rich kid who threw his life away doing drugs and slumming around with hipster poors. His parents money and connections bailed him out and he died writing a journal about being sad he outlived his friends and how much he likes his cats. Mishima started a right-wing cult at a time of political suppression more intense than peak woke and staged a coup that involved him disemboweling himself and getting decapitated by an underling.

I don't find the lives of pederast drug addicts to be funny or interesting
>>
>>25314892
that's precisely what i like about him

That's why you're a normie.

Is it just me or does this Doctor Benway character sound uncannily like MKUltra architect Doctor Jolly West (and in extension Doctor Josef Mengele)? IYKYK.

Reading NL now. I'm listening on audio but noting down memorable passages in a PDF.
>A coprophage calls for a plate, shits on it and eats the shit, exclaiming, "Mmmm, that's my rich substance."
This made me LOL.
>>
>Dr. Benway is operating in an auditorium filled with students: "Now, boys, you won't see this operation performed very often and there's a reason for that.... You see it has absolutely no medical value. No one knows what the purpose of it originally was or if it had a purpose at all. Personally I think it was a pure artistic creation from the beginning.
Is this a nod toward circumcision? lol
>>
>>25315136
its definitely not just you
>>
>>25315256
Lmfao definitely qualifies. I love that passage

I know all of these guys are gay and zooted but whenever I see mention of card-carrying NAMBLA member Allen Ginsberg, I can only imagine the most looney tunes jewish pederast kvetching ‘this weed makes me nauseous’ as he molests a child

Great listening

I want to read poor Billy Jr’s book, because apparently he reports he had been gay molested multiple times by his father’s friends, as a straight man. You can especially see how evil Burroughs is from his son’s perspective, and the shit WSB writes about Billy’s death is absolutely reprehensible,

boring prudes

>>25315504
Thankfully prudes are taking over so the cringy gross stuff old people like will die out.
>>
>>25315507
Oh yes, true profanity is nearly a lost art and is in fact now a hidden weapon. Literary archaeologists rejoice
>>
>>25315142
Is this Uranian Willy, do we think? Only appears when withdrawing? Crazy they didn’t have Burroughs voice him
>>
I like buying old editions of books but I don't want to miss out on the stuff from the restored editions
>>
>>25316747
I've started with the Restored Editions and am keeping an eye out for older editions in the few shrinking older bookstores where I can
>>
OP is a pederast who really wishes he could have lived the degenerate pederast life Burroughs did but he can't because he is neither rich nor talented.
>>
Reading Naked Lunch. So much boy fucking. He really was the de Sade of the twentieth century.
>>
This looks interesting. Might be worth checking out.
