Synopsis "The Job: Interviews With William s. Burroughs: Interviews With Daniel Odier"

The Job is William S. Burroughs at work, attacking our traditional values, condemning what he calls "the American nightmare," and expressing his often barbed views on Scientology, the police, orgone therapy, history, women, writing, poitics, sex, drugs, and death. His conversation splices images of death-by-hanging with elevators and airports, the story of his drug addiction and cure with ideas on the use of hieroglyphs.

William Seward Burroughs (1914-1997) es una figura legendaria de la literatura norteamericana de este siglo, un escritor comparado con Villon, Rimbaud y Genet. Tanto su vida como su obra, de un pesimismo total y un sombrío sentido del humor, reflejan una actitud de rebelión permanente contra la sociedad convencional. Homosexual, drogadicto durante muchos años, amigo e ídolo de Kerouac y Ginsberg, se le considera el gran «gurú» de la generación beat, pese a su negativa a ser incluido en ella.
