Call Me Burroughs: A Life Review: Enigmatic at best, yet such talent - This is an exhaustive, yet intimate portrayal of our most incredibly "outsider" author- sometimes associated with the Beat Generation (although Burroughs clearly did not relish the link himself), eventually a forerunner and grandfather of the Punks. As a fellow writer, and reader of many of his books, my favorite sections are about his writing "process," of which there are less details. The parts of the book in which Burroughs got into cut-ups, collages, journaling, techniques that combined other arts with writing; or his "Ugly Spirit," and Burroughs' methods of daily subversion: these spoke the most to me. Overall, Burroughs seems very sad, even desperate, and perhaps this is truly the modern (post-modern?) American artist at his "work?" Still, I am a major fan, and so grateful for the impact of reading this American original with the cold, blue gaze. I do recommend this new massive, throughly researched biography, Call Me Burroughs. Review: Riveting from the very beginning, with astonishing stories and ... - Riveting from the very beginning, with astonishing stories and vignettes, one after the other. Vivid descriptions of people, places, and events, all buoyed by quotes from the players, including Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Burroughs, and many others. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #369 in Author Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 89 Reviews | ## Images ![Call Me Burroughs: A Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bVASgiBJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enigmatic at best, yet such talent *by R***N on February 17, 2014* This is an exhaustive, yet intimate portrayal of our most incredibly "outsider" author- sometimes associated with the Beat Generation (although Burroughs clearly did not relish the link himself), eventually a forerunner and grandfather of the Punks. As a fellow writer, and reader of many of his books, my favorite sections are about his writing "process," of which there are less details.

Vivid descriptions of people, places, and events, all buoyed by quotes from the players, including Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Burroughs, and many others. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Detailed, though a bit star struck *by S***R on January 5, 2025* Barry Miles’ fascinating, easily readable biography of William Burroughs is detailed in its presentation, providing a remarkable portrait of the notorious rebel, writer, junky, and outlaw. From his earliest days as a well-to-do, if alienated boy in St. Louis, to his drug filled New York days as a Beat, following through the torturous path of the murder of his wife, Miles’ love for his subject beams. Although the book shows us the Burroughs who worked quite diligently at his writing, detailing his experiments with the cutup method, Miles is perhaps more interested in Burroughs the icon and celebrity than Burroughs the writer. For all his faults, one cannot help but admire his total approach to rejecting the moldings of American society, fraught as we was with self-absorption and juvenilia. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/80155281-call-me-burroughs-a-life](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/80155281-call-me-burroughs-a-life) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
