My Education: A Book of Dreams
William S. Burroughs
Synopsis "My Education: A Book of Dreams"
My Education is William S. Burroughs's final collection, first published two years before his death in 1997. It is a book of dreams, written over several decades and as personal and close to a memoir as we will see. The dreams cover themes from the mundane and ordinary -- conversations with his friends Allen Ginsberg or Ian Sommerville, feeding his cats, procuring drugs or sex -- to the erotic, bizarre, and visionary. Always a rich source of imagery in Burroughs's own fiction, in this book, dreams become a direct and powerful force in themselves. "Mr. Burroughs has lost none of his irreverence or wit, but in recent years he has acquired an elegant, elegiac tone." – The New York Times
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.
