Arabic Literature (in English) William S. Burroughs. From Wikipedia: William Seward Burroughs (February 5, 1914 – August 2, 1997) was a gay American author associated with the Beat Generation writers such as Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac.
He is best known as the author of Naked Lunch, an unusual novel focusing on his obsessions with drug addiction, homosexuality, and fantasies of extreme criminal behavior. The book became a test case in US obscenity laws. He is also well known for his later use of the cut-up technique of using pieces of various texts to create a new one (which Burroughs developed with the poet and artist Brion Gysin who introduced him to the idea), as well as what Burroughs called “word holes” – repeated phrases or sentences from which reading can continue at any other identical phrase or sentences in the text, a form of hypertext. Born in St. He attended John Burroughs School in St. In 1944, Burroughs began living with Joan Vollmer in an apartment they shared with Kerouac and Edie Parker, Kerouac’s first wife.
William S. One Hundred Years. ‘Get out of the medieval witted sepulchers, and face your fears. I know very well it is not easy.’ One hundred years ago this month, on November 20, 1910, the great Russian author/essayist/dramatist/religious philosopher/educational reformer Leo Tolstoy died of pneumonia at Astapovo station. Then 82 years old, a member of the Russian nobility, he had left home in the dead of winter after making a decision to abandon his family and his inherited wealth—wealth he always felt undeserving of—and embrace the life of a wandering ascetic. Two years before his death he had initiated what became an intense one-year correspondence with Mohandas Gandhi, who had been persuaded by Tolstoy's 1892 essay, “The Kingdom of God Is Within You,” to embrace a path of nonviolent resistance. A vegetarian and pacifist, Tolstoy condemned the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 and was a staunch supporter of the pacifist Christian Dukhobors, whom he aided in their migration to Canada.
