Riassunto

Through critical readings, Gerald Alva Miller, Jr. examines the life of William S. Burroughs and the evolution of his various radical styles not just in writing but also in audio, film, and painting. Miller argues that Burroughs, more than any other author, ushered in the era of both postmodern fiction and poststructural philosophy.
