2.0 out of 5 stars Unless you are a WSB fanatic, you can safely skip this one., January 28, 2002

Hiroo Yamagata (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo Japan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: My Kind of Angel: I. M . William Burroughs (Stride Conversation Piece) (Paperback)

First, the contents; This is an "in memorium" book. It contains 5 (but rather short) interviews with WSB, and an unpublished intro that WSB wrote for a Grove Press catalog. That takes about 40 pages of a 163 page book. The rest is tributes to WSB by various minor writers and artist.

The interviews are not anything spectacular. WSB is not a person that gives new insight like potato chips. He repeats the same thing over and over again, so most of what he says in the interviews, you've probably already read somewhere. All the interviewers are rather ... 2nd rate, most have no idea how to develop a theme, and they just slide along from one topic to the next, only scratching the surface everywhere.

The tributes are, there are about 40 of them altogether, and all of them are unimpressive.

So, as I said in the text, you can skip this unless you are a fanatic like myself (and even this fanatic was not very enthusiastic when this came through the mail). But since it does contain WSB material that you can't find anywhere else, If you GOT to have it all, go for it.
