nice little academic analysis,
By
This review is from: William S. Burroughs (Twayne's United States Authors Series) (Hardcover)
Skerl's book is a volume in the Wayne's United States Authors Series. This slender volume is an attempt to write a reader-friendly introduction to Burroughs' writing and a non-specialist's analysis of Burroughs' literature, as well as to delineate Burroughs' spot in the larger canon, our outside it. It is well written and would serve as an excellent source to supplement Ted Morgan's biography LITERARY OUTLAW.Skerl's thesis is that Burroughs' fiction is an expression oriented within hipsterism as a world-view. The book has a bibliography and an index. Bibliography also includes a selection of journal articles the author finds of value. All in all, this would be a nice supplement to LITERARY OUTLAW by Ted Morgan, if the reader wishes to have a reasonable academic analysis of some of Burroughs' fiction. ken32 |
