ISBN: 9780140094510 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1954 William Burroughs settled in Tangiers, finding a sanctuary of sorts in its shadowy streets, blind alleys, and lowlife decadence. It was this city that served as a catalyst for Burroughs as a writer, the backdrop for one of the most radical transformations of style in literary history.
Burroughs's life during this period is limned in a startling collection of short stories, autobiographical sketches, letters, and diary entries, all of which showcase his trademark mordant humor, while delineating the addictions to drugs and sex that are the central metaphors of his work. But it is the... In 1954 William Burroughs settled in Tangiers, finding a sanctuary of sorts in its shadowy streets, blind alleys, and lowlife decadence. It was this c...

Burroughsa do Amazonii na początku lat pięćdziesiątych XX wieku w poszukiwaniu tajemniczego wywaru mającego wywoływać telepatię, częściowo eksperyment literacki Burroughsa i Ginsberga, w którym fakty mieszają się z fikcjami, a stawką jest życie. Oto zapowiedź epoki, która nadeszła inaczej niż się tego spodziewano. A zarazem trzymająca w napięciu powieść łotrzykowska, w której nic nie jest prawdziwe, wszystko jest dozwolone.
