Burroughs on texts by a range of canonical writers, from William Shakespeare and Arthur Rimbaud to William Wordsworth and James Joyce. Burroughs selected the source texts, cut them up, and juxtaposed the fragments to select random word combinations and create new compositions. Only made available in the archives since 2010, The Travel Agency is on Fire will fascinate scholars and Burroughs fans alike, as they illuminate the experimental processes that underlie Burroughs' work."--Publisher's website (viewed 05/07/2015). 545 0 $a "William Seward Burroughs II (1914-1997), an American writer and artist, has often been called the "Godfather" of the Beat Generation. Jack Kerouac named him the "greatest satirical writer since Jonathan Swift" and Norman Mailer declared him "the only American writer who may be conceivably possessed by genius." Burroughs wrote eighteen novels and novellas (most famously his controversial Naked Lunch), six collections of short stories, and four collections of essays. He also collaborated on recordings with a variety of musicians and performers, and appeared in numerous films."--Publisher's website (viewed 05/07/2015). 545 0 $a "Alex Wermer-Colan (editor) is a doctoral student in the PhD Program in English at the Graduate Center, CUNY, and organized the William S.
