Beschreibung

<p><b>'If you simply follow Burroughs through the rock 'n' roll years you'll see him achieve a flickering ubiquity - lurking here, eavesdropping there, photobombing the whole parade. It becomes a kind of alternative history' </b><b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i></b></p><p>Reissued with a new Foreword as part of White Rabbit's prestigious Deep Cuts series, <i>William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock </i><i>'n' Roll </i>tells the story of a man Patti Smith described as 'up there with the pope' through the prism of his impact on pop music.<br><br>William S. Burroughs's fiction and essays are legendary, but his influence on music's counterculture has been less well documented - until now. Examining how one of America's most controversial literary figures altered the destinies of many notable and varied musicians, <i>William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll </i>reveals the transformations in music history that followed in his wake.</p><p><b>'Casey Rae's book is a labour of love that offers a map to understanding Burroughs' complex relationship to music and other art forms' CHRIS STEIN, co-founder of BLONDIE</b></p>
