Берроуз, который взорвался. Бит-поколение, постмодернизм, киберпанк и другие осколки

William Seward Burroughs is one of the most influential American novelists of the 20th century. Without his books, it is difficult to imagine the films of David Cronenberg, the philosophical works of Gilles Deleuze, the songs of David Bowie. He was a beatnik ally and punk patron, queer trailblazer and rock and roll icon, gun lover and drug addict, freedom evangelist and killer on the run. It is difficult to find corners of modern culture that do not shine with the isotopes of his influence: postmodernism, cyberpunk, transhumanism, psychedelic rock, industrial - the list is endless. The Burroughs Who Exploded is the first Russian-language biography of the counterculture gunman by Dmitry Khaustov, author of books on Charles Bukowski, George Orwell and the beat generation. 18+
