William Burroughs ha cinque anni quando, seduto con il fratello nella casa di famiglia, in un quartiere altoborghese di St. Louis, scoppia improvvisamente a piangere: «Era come la sensazione disperata e assoluta di essere vulnerabile». William ne è ancora ignaro, ma lo Spirito del Male è già penetrato in lui, entità ostile che lo perseguiterà per tutta la vita.Che studi medicina a Vienna o antropologia ad Harvard, che faccia il disinfestatore a Chicago o si rifugi tra le braccia dell’amico Allen Ginsberg a New York, lo Spirito del Male non gli darà mai pace, portandolo alle azioni più sconsiderate e alle sperimentazioni più folli, ma anche, per reazione violenta, alle visioni più lucide e alle verità più drammaticamente insondabili. L’uccisione della moglie nella delirante e ubriaca imitazione di Guglielmo Tell, la ricerca di giovani corpi nei casini di Tangeri, l’automutilazione del mignolo per farne dono all’innamorato, la dipendenza dall’alcol e dalle droghe, la fascinazione per l’occulto in tutte le forme con cui si manifesta, dallo sciamanismo a Scientology alla stregoneria: Burroughs, vestito di un abito scuro e di un cappello fedora per scivolare tra la folla come un hombre invisible, con l’immancabile pistola in tasca e la freddezza inquietante dello studioso, sperimenta ogni possibile deragliamento dei sensi, convinto di poter sfuggire al controllo dello Stato, delle religioni, del sesso, della droga, delle dipendenze solo immergendovisi fino in fondo, sprofondandovi ogni volta, dando in pegno la sua vita per guadagnarne mille. Sempre in fuga – Tangeri, Parigi, Città del Messico, New Orleans, Chicago, New York – e sempre un passo oltre, non solo rispetto agli amici beat, che ammirati lo elessero capo spirituale, ma anche alle mode letterarie e culturali e a qualsiasi limite dell’immaginario e della morale.Il Saggiatore porta in Italia la biografia fondamentale di uno degli scrittori più radicali e decisivi del XX secolo. A firmarla è Barry Miles, che assistette in presa diretta alla sua eccezionale esistenza e ne ricostruisce qui, tramite testimonianze inedite, l’intera vicenda biografica: una storia privata estrema che getta nuova luce sull’opera letteraria di Burroughs come tentativo disperato di esorcizzare lo Spirito del Male e «scrivere la propria via di fuga».

L'inizio del nuovo millennio coincide con l'espansione della galassia di pratiche e studi psicologici: sempre meno psicanalisi, sempre più indirizzi psicoterapeutici. E le neuroscienze, pur avendo conosciuto un incredibile sviluppo, continuano a adottare un atteggiamento funzionalista che si rivela ineffi cace nell'affrontare il disagio esistenziale e psicologico, mai come oggi così diffuso e capillare. Si avverte la necessità di una nuova epistemologia che si configuri come scienza degli stati interiori, capace di affrontare la domanda a cui le neuroscienze non rispondono – che cos'è la mente? – e organizzare un intervento terapeutico che soddisfi il radicale bisogno di senso sperimentato da ogni paziente psicanalitico. Questa nuova epistemologia, in realtà antichissima, si fonda sulla coscienza, intesa come sensazione di essere e della continuità di essere. Irriflessa, persistente, priva di relazioni, questa sensazione non abbisogna di memoria: svanite le identificazioni individuali, accantonati i particolarismi che di ciascuno di noi costituiscono il vissuto personale, rimane un sentire che non nasce, non muta, non muore. In questa prospettiva di superamento dell'io si individua un percorso terapeutico sismico, che, dopo il franamento degli strati geologici rappresentati dalle peculiarità psichiche, passa attraverso l'istante in cui la coscienza esperisce il proprio autoriconoscimento e dunque la ricomposizione di ogni frattura, di ogni dualità: di ogni trauma. Strumento privilegiato per l'emersione di questi «istanti coscienziali» è il testo: se infatti ciascuno di noi vive nel mondo in base a un'idea di leggibilità del mondo stesso, è precipuamente nel testo letterario – attraverso modalità e strategie come lo zero tragico identificato da Friedrich Hölderlin e la sagomatura e la trasmissione del vuoto – che per un istante, come quando ci si sveglia, non si ascolta, non si vede, non si pensa: si sente soltanto che si è e si fa l'esperienza irrinunciabile dell'unicità. In questo saggio che è anche una dichiarazione dirompente di poetica, lucida e senza esitazioni, Giuseppe Genna indaga una faglia ancora inesplorata – fra lo scientismo intransigente dell'epistemologia classica e le esperienze concrete dei metafisici occidentali e orientali – e, pur senza rinunciare alla solidità quasi materica della struttura argomentativa, solleva il lettore sopra la voragine dove l'io svanisce – e non c'è più paura.

This definitive book on Burroughs’ decades-long cut-up project and its relevance to the American twentieth century, including previously unpublished works. William S. Burroughs’s Nova Trilogy (The Soft Machine, Nova Express, and The Ticket That Exploded) remains the best-known of his textual cut-up creations, but he committed more than a decade of his life to searching out multimedia for use in works of collage. By cutting up, folding in, and splicing together newspapers, magazines, letters, book reviews, classical literature, audio recordings, photographs, and films, Burroughs created an eclectic and wide-ranging countercultural archive. This collection includes previously unpublished work by Burroughs such as cut-ups of work written by his son, cut-ups of critical responses to his own work, collages on the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal, excerpts from his dream journals, and some of the few diary entries that Burroughs wrote about his wife, Joan. William S. Burroughs Cutting Up the Century also features original essays, interviews, and discussions by established Burroughs scholars, respected artists, and people who encountered Burroughs. The essays consider Burroughs from a range of perspectives—literary studies, media studies, popular culture, gender studies, post-colonialism, history, and geography. “A landmark in scholarship.” —Choice

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 outsider.

The first novel in William Burroughs' anarchic 'Cut-Up Trilogy'. A world populated by hanged soldiers, North African street urchins, addicted narcotics agents, Spanish rent boys, evil doctors, corrupt judges and monsters from the mythology of history or the laboratories of science - Burroughs was truly the Hieronymus Bosch of the twentieth century. In this surreal, savage and brilliantly funny novel, his famous 'cut-up' technique, the slicing and random folding in of words, transforms the narrative into an extraordinary, unequalled new form of prose poetry, taking us deeper into the dark recesses of Burroughs' imagination.

Scintillating essays about the author himself, his interests, his influences, his friends and foes. He offers candid and not always flattering assessments of other writers. He ruminates on science and the often dubious paths into which it seem intent on leading us, whether into outer or inner space. Burroughs reviews his reviewers, explains his famous "cup-up" method, and discusses the role coincidence has played in his life and his work.

Fifty years ago, Norman Mailer asserted, "William Burroughs is the only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius." Few since have taken such literary risks, developed such individual political or spiritual ideas, or spanned such a wide range of media. Burroughs wrote novels, memoirs, technical manuals, and poetry. He painted, made collages, took thousands of photographs, produced hundreds of hours of experimental recordings, acted in movies, and recorded more CDs than most rock bands. Burroughs was the original cult figure of the Beat Movement, and with the publication of his novel Naked Lunch, which was originally banned for obscenity, he became a guru to the 60s youth counterculture. In Call Me Burroughs, biographer and Beat historian Barry Miles presents the first full-length biography of Burroughs to be published in a quarter century-and the first one to chronicle the last decade of Burroughs's life and examine his long-term cultural legacy. Written with the full support of the Burroughs estate and drawing from countless interviews with figures like Allen Ginsberg, Lucien Carr, and Burroughs himself, Call Me Burroughs is a rigorously researched biography that finally gets to the heart of its notoriously mercurial subject.

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.
