Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. William Seward Burroughs II was an American novelist, poet, essayist, painter and spoken word performer. Burroughs was a primary member of the Beat Generation and a postmodernist author who affected popular culture as well as literature. He is considered to be "one of the most politically trenchant, culturally influential, and innovative artists of the twentieth century." Burroughs wrote 18 novels and novellas, 6 collections of short stories and 4 collections of essays. 5 books have been published of his interviews and correspondences. Burroughs also collaborated on projects and recordings with numerous performers and musicians, and made many appearances in films. Burroughs was born to a wealthy family in St. Louis, Missouri, where he began writing essays and journals in early adolescence. After leaving home, Burroughs became enamoured with beatnik counterculture, and fascinated by the underground society of drug addiction. His first work as a novelist was co-written in 1945 with friend Jack Kerouac, And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks.
