Interpretation To Books Queer

I have a passionate hatred for William Burroughs. I think even his fans have to concede that he's a degenerate piece of shit. I admit my prior experience with him consists of 5 pages of Naked Lunch and a couple biographies of various sorts, none of which fail to mention the pedophilia and him murdering his wife (I'm from Detroit, don't think for a second I buy his bullshit story), not that I'd hold that against him when rating this book.

I went into this book expecting it to be about heroin abuse and gay sex, you know some fun light reading, instead it turns about to be a sober, heartbreaking tale of profound universal human loneliness: "In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality. It is as the mountains: a fact. There it is. When you realize it, you cannot complain."

The fact that this book is great somehow only makes me hate him more.

Alright Burroughs, I don't like you and you don't like me, but I found this for .50 cents today so I'm giving you one more shot to redeem yourself . . . Don't Fuck This Up!

Write Up Containing Books Queer

Desperation and self-loathing.With much of the unapologetic voyeuristic view as was in Junky, but less rawness in a way. Lee, the protagonist is painful to be with, you cringe and want to distance yourself. It seems that the character's view of the outside world is a reflection of his inward one - disgusting, empty, meaninglessness. A painful book, hard to reckon with, and unfinished in my view; I do not need a clear resolution, but it just seemed like this was a piece, a fragment, and it could

The tone was relaxed yet captivating and I can see myself rereading it to see what I get from it a second time. In fact, some passages were so lovely that I reread them several times before continuing.

140815: pathetic truth, not particular to sexual gender / orientation: whomever you love, there is no limit to abasement you will eagerly suffer, for you will have no pride... though why this was not published and naked lunch was? no idea. here is the beginning of those vicious outrageous horrific hilarious routines, from lee to his audience...

Queer is an unreciprocated love story, in which the protagonist Lee craves love and attention from a young American by the name of Eugene Allerton. Set in the American ex-pat scene of hedonistic, lawless 1940s Mexico, the first half of the story centres around a number of bars and gay joints where Lee spends his days, drinking, drug-taking and going through set routines, whereby he attempts to regale his audience with intellectualness and bizarre humour. Later in the book Lee persuades Allerton

My love affair with Burroughs started at a young age due (mostly) to this book.This is one of my all time favourite books and has lost nothing with time.I like to think of this as one of the greatest beat era love stories that isn't a love story.

I enjoy a book about a hot mess, So I was more than a little excited when I came across this beauty at the thrift store. I mean how can you pass up a book with a penis on the cover written by a noted author?I began reading Queer, to look at how Burroughs used his real life to write "fictional" stories. I have been struggling with how to do this in my own writing, so I am seeking out models. This is a good model for me, because I'm don't think any of the other "characters" in this story would be

This is an interesting look into the heart and hormones of William S. Burroughs. In many ways it is quite sad how being a member of a counter-culture group back in an era where the homophobia and persecution of those who were not WASP's was violent and deadly stunted the expression and romantic feelings of a gay man. It is equally as sad, how little this nation has changed with his hatred and judgement of people.You come away with a feeling of bleak sadness for Burroughs that all of the love he
