Par	D. Mcquade "rankin-raver" (Toronto) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Port of Saints (Paperback)

I completely disagree with the review "Rarely Read But Important For Any Burrough's Fan, June 17, 1998"

He starts off, correctly, but misses the point. By alternating the "dream" or interzone sequences, he is letting out his early childhood- dreams and experiences. Having read ALL of his books, and most of the biographies- as well as seeing him read before he passed away- I think this is one of the missed gems, and should be more recognized for what it is- simply another brilliant book by WSB. (1914-1997) The mere fact that he didn't want to be a writer, and Kerouac and Ginsberg had to type all his early manuscripts for him- speaks for itself. It's incredible. If he hadn't picked up a pen,there would be a great loss in literature. As Norman Mailer correctly pointed out, "He is the only writer alive, conceivably possessed by genius..."

4.0�toiles sur 5 Poetic Piece Of The Burroughs Puzzle, Ao� 13 1999

Par Un client

This review is from: Port of Saints (Paperback)

A comparatively obscure work that came between Exterminator! and Cities Of The Red Night. Very poetic and beautiful to read, continuing the ideas and characters of The Wild Boys from a different viewpoint: revolution through magic, body transference, lust and violence, and in this case sentimental reminiscence. Not as explosive as some of his more lauded works, this is none-the-less a treasure, with memorable images and scenes, that will haunt you like a lost love. (P.S. Burroughs was never in Tunisia)

This book is often passed over and has little that can't be experienced in other must-reads by Burroughs like the two early narratives, Naked Lunch, and the cut-up trilogy. Read more
