William S. Burroughs
Il pasto nudo
The Junky's Christmas
William Seward Burroughs II, più noto come William S. Burroughs ([ˈbʌroʊz]; Saint Louis, 5 febbraio 1914 – Lawrence, 2 agosto 1997), è stato uno scrittore, saggista e pittore statunitense, tra i massimi del secondo Novecento. Ispiratore della Beat generation, ma dalla vastissima influenza anche sui movimenti letterari successivi e finanche nel campo della fantascienza, Burroughs scrisse diciotto romanzi, sei raccolte di racconti e quattro raccolte di versi. Cinque sono inoltre i libri pubblicati che raccolgono interviste o corrispondenze. Apparve inoltre in vari film e collaborò con numerosi musicisti e performer. Tra le molte innovazioni portate da Burroughs all'arte narrativa, spicca in particolare l'invenzione della tecnica del cut-up, con cui scrisse il suo capolavoro Pasto nudo e altri romanzi come Nova express e Il biglietto che esplose.
