Wising Up the Marks: The Amodern William Burroughs Paperback - 1998
by Timothy S. Murphy
Despite the popular mythology that surrounds William S. Burroughs, his work has been largely excluded from the academy of American letters. Finally here is a book that presents a solid portrait of a major artistic innovator, a writer who combines aesthetics and politics and who can perform as anthropologist, social goad, or media icon, all with consummate skill.
First line
If the following study were to be a purely descriptive account of the cultural matrix of (post)modernism, we would have to begin with modernism, as the temporal precession of prefixes would imply.
From the rear cover
"Makes a powerful claim for the centrality of Burroughs's work in twentieth-century American fiction, and is critical to our understanding of the possibilities of radical political change in the so-called 'postmodern' era of American culture. Nobody discussing Burroughs henceforth will be able to ignore Murphy's book."--Steven Shaviro, University of Washington
"I think it is a robust addition to the canon of studied interpretation of WSB's art (and life) in the historical context."--James Grauerholz of William Burroughs Communications
