Lacking any humility and humanity whatsoever. Absurdly well-written, still difficult to enjoy.

A very interesting introduction to this time period, and the whole writing generation that came from him. The account is told in a very engaging way and was gripping thw whole way through. Mad unreliable narrator (or ig author) knowing his history and all that, but a very introspective account of addiction.

Finishing this in the same day as watching Requiem for a Dream might have been a bit much, not going to lie.

las anécdotas e historias en si de la vida de burroughs se me hicieron entretenidas pero el libro esta escrito en su totalidad sin objetivo alguno. podria empezar y terminar en cualquier oración, se podría incluso dar vuelta la historia y no cambiaría nada porque es un texto increiblemente reiterativo y absolutamente para nada progresivo. el bill de la primera página es el mismo que el de la última y, en lo personal, eso no es lo q busco en un libro
