Summary

The fathers of the Beat movement, Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs, converse about deeply intimate and personal history in this freeflowing, days-long dialog, edited by longtime Ginsberg collaborator Steven Taylor. Topics include literature that influenced their writing, shamanism and its usefulness in modern society, favorite punk rock musicians, and the need for art to counter oppressiveness. They also discuss in depth the making of Naked Lunch, the film adaptation of Burroughs' acclaimed novel. An essential addition to the Beat canon
