William S. Burroughs - Call Me Burroughs (1965)

"Bradley the Buyer" by William S. Burroughs

The start of the Beat Generation has been pinpointed to the area of Columbia University in 1944. Allen Ginsberg was there, as was William S. Burroughs. It took around ten years for the cluster of authors that made up the Beats to publish their major works; Burroughs's Naked Lunch published in 1959. Like Ginsberg's Howl, Burroughs's testament faced censorship, book bans and court proceedings. And not too long after, like Ginsberg's Howl, Burroughs would set some of his writings to wax. Call Me Burroughs was released in 1965 by The English Bookshop, Paris.
