Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is a compendium of the writings of American author WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS edited by JAMES GRAUERHOLZ and IRA SILVERBERG--the book is a STATED 1st EDITION and 1st PRINTING and a softcover copy. The book is titled Word Virus: The William Burroughs Reader and it was written by WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS, edited by JAMES GRAUERHOLZ and IRA SILVERBERG, and with an introduction by ANN DOUGLAS; it was published by Grove Press in 1998 and is a STATED 1st EDITION and 1st PRINTING with a publication line reading 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.With the publication of Naked Lunch in 1959, William Burroughs abruptly brought international letters into the postmodern age. Beginning with his very early writing (including a chapter from his and Jack Kerouac's never-before-seen collaborative novel), Word Virus follows the arc of Burroughs's remarkable career, from his darkly hilarious "routines" to the experimental cut-up novels to Cities of the Red Night and The Cat Inside. Beautifully edited and complemented by James Grauerholz's illuminating biographical essays, Word Virus charts Burroughs's major themes and places the work in the context of the life. It is an excellent tool for the scholar and a delight for the general reader. Throughout a career that spanned half of the twentieth century, William S. Burroughs managed continually to be a visionary among writers. When he died in 1997, the world of letters lost its most elegant and deliciously drug-addled outsider.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
