First Edition.

21cm x 14cm. 256 pages. Pictorial wrappers.

“William S. Burroughs is generally thought of as a novelist who is gay, rather than a gay novelist. Juxtaposing analysis of Burroughs’ novels with biographical details and cultural history, Jamie Russell offers the first queer reading of this fascinating figure. With remarkable insight into the politics of gay culture in twentieth-century America, Russell demonstrates how Burroughs offers a very personal rethinking of gay masculinity.” (publisher’s blurb)
