Bibliography of William Burroughs

William Seward Burroughs (February 5, 1914, St. Louis , USA - August 2, 1997, Lawrence , USA) is an American essayist , novelist and novelist, one of the key representatives of the beat generation , called his “godfather” [1] . In addition, Burroughs is one of the developers of the avant-garde writing method - a subspecies of the slicing method called “fold-in” [2] .

Peru Burroughs owns nineteen novels and more than ten collections of short prose. All his main works are translated into Russian. Burroughs began to write when he met Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg . With the first in collaboration, he will write the book “ And the hippos have boiled in their pools ”, which will be devoted to the actual murder of their close friend - David Kammerer ( Eng. David Kammerer ) [3] ; the book was released only in 2008 due to an injunction on publishing related to one of the protagonists of the novel, Lucien Carr , the killer of Kammerer, who sought a court order to ban the publication of the book until his death [3] . This will be followed by two autobiographical novels - “ Junkie ” and “ Pidor ”, which will be published under the pseudonym “William Lee” [4] [5] . The book, which will become a key one in Burroughs’s work, will be The Naked Breakfast , released in 1959, which will finally establish the writer’s place among the most radical and scandalous authors of his time, simultaneously approving the title of “godfather” of the beat generation [1] .

The information presented in this article is based on the most complete bibliography of William Burroughs, “Collecting William S. Burroughs in print” by Eric Shoaf , released in 2000 [6] [7] .

Novels and novels

Burroughs' first books, written before 1959, are documentary prose - three novels appear in the form of an autobiography of a writer and were created in a traditional narrative form, even before the emergence of corporate non-linear narrative writing style, which will become the basis of the author’s work later [8] . Only a few years later, having moved to Morocco in Morocco in 1959, to the Tangier International Zone (which he dreamed of visiting after reading several books by Paul Bowles [9] [10] ), Burroughs begins to closely engage in the processing of his literary material in accordance with the principles developed jointly with By Brion Gysin , a “fold-in” technique using the slicing method. The result of his work will be the novel “ Naked Breakfast ”, which will subsequently be called one of the most important works of American literature of the 20th century [11] . The next remarkable milestone in the writer's work will be the Nova Trilogy (it will be composed of novels written between 1961 and 1964), which is destined to appear as the apotheosis of the writer's linguistic experiments [2] [12] .

Burroughs' novels were revolutionary for their time; “Burroughs has no heroes, even his characters are very arbitrary. With “characters” it’s even more difficult, since the action <...> the alleged characters of the book, bearing funny and strange names, appear from nowhere and disappear to nowhere, they flash like shadows, bumping into each other. Sometimes they are mixed into one big stream, and then the author already has time to briefly characterize each one in a nutshell ” [13] . Burrows’s work is nowadays quite ambiguous - “some consider him to be the greatest moralist since Jonathan Swift , others accuse him of pornography and playing on base feelings” [14] .

Stories, essays, interviews and letters

The authorship of Burroughs more than a dozen collections of small prose . The writer is most widely known to the Russian reader as a novelist, for this reason a relatively small number of the author’s stories were published in Russian. Separate books left only three works. The first, the collection “Disinsector!” Logically continues the themes of “Wild boys”, but differs from the latter in less use of “cuts”, a clearer presentation of various movie quotes, more detailed characters and a fairly simple plot [38] . The compilation essay collection “The Counting Machine”, released in 2009, is mainly focused on Burroughs’s personal experiences, he “writes about his youth, his first attempts at writing , friends and enemies, writers whom he knew or admired — Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Jack Kerouac , Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene , Ernst Hemingway and Samuel Beckett ” [39] . The collection received very high marks from Russian literary critics - the TimeOut review begins with the words “the release of the collection showed that the Burroughs-novelist loses a lot to the Burroughs-essayist”, and the observer Rolling Stone reacted positively to the work [40] [41] .

Released in 2010, "Interzone", according to James Grauerholtz - a biographer, editor and literary executor Burroughs, one of the most important books in the context of the study of the writer's work [8] . The works “Here Ah Puig” and “Tornado Alley” were released as part of the collection “The Cat Inside. Collection of short prose "; as was noted in one of the book reviews, “Burroughs' little stories are written, as the author himself notes in the text“ The Cat Inside, “the haughty tone of the old English pederast.” One of the stylistic dominants of this tone is an absent-minded look at the space around it, its fragmentation ” [42] .
