Call Me Burroughs
Fifty years ago, Norman Mailer asserted, "William Burroughs is the only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius." Few since have taken such literary risks, developed such individual political or spiritual ideas, or spanned such a wide range of media. Burroughs wrote novels, memoirs, technical manuals, and poetry. He painted, made collages, took thousands of photographs, produced hundreds of hours of experimental recordings, acted in movies, and recorded more CDs than most rock bands. Burroughs was the original cult figure of the Beat Movement, and with the publication of his novel Naked Lunch, which was originally banned for obscenity, he became a guru to th...
Goldman
Jean-Jacques Goldman n’est pas seulement un grand nom de la chanson. Il est aussi un enfant d’immigrés juifs devenu la personnalité préférée des Français, un artiste engagé après la mort des utopies, un artisan au coeur des industries culturelles, un homme en rupture avec les codes virils. Le succès n’a affecté ni sa droiture ni son humilité. Pour exister, Goldman a dû composer avec les règles de son temps, mais il a fini par composer lui-même l’air du temps, les chansons que les filles écoutaient dans leur chambre, les tubes sur lesquels tous les jeunes dansaient, les hymnes des générations qui se pressaient à ses concerts. Et puis, au sommet de la gloire, l’hyperstar a choisi de se retirer. Dans la folie des réseaux sociaux, son invisibilité le rend étrangement visible. À force d’absence, et parce qu’il n’a jamais été aussi présent, Goldman est devenu un mythe. Ce livre retrace le parcours d’un artiste exceptionnel, tout en racontant nos années Goldman.
Io sono Burroughs
William Burroughs ha cinque anni quando, seduto con il fratello nella casa di famiglia, in un quartiere altoborghese di St. Louis, scoppia improvvisamente a piangere: «Era come la sensazione disperata e assoluta di essere vulnerabile». William ne è ancora ignaro, ma lo Spirito del Male è già penetrato in lui, entità ostile che lo perseguiterà per tutta la vita. Che studi medicina a Vienna o antropologia ad Harvard, che faccia il disinfestatore a Chicago o si rifugi tra le braccia dell'amico Allen Ginsberg a New York, lo Spirito del Male non gli darà mai pace, portandolo alle azioni più sconsiderate e alle sperimentazioni più folli, ma anche, per reazione violenta, alle visioni più...
William S. Burroughs
Authoritative biography of cult writer and author of NAKED LUNCH, William Burroughs (1914-1997). It has been 50 years since Norman Mailer asserted, 'I think that William Burroughs is the only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius.' This assessment holds true today. No-one since then has taken such risks in their writing, developed such individual radical political ideas, or spanned such a wide range of media - Burroughs has written novels, memoirs, technical manuals and poetry, he has painted, made collages, taken thousands of photographs, made visual scrapbooks, produced hundreds of hours of experimental tapes, acted in movies and recorded more CDs than m...
