Synopsis
A glimpse into the subconscious of the author of JUNKY, NAKED LUNCH, and NOVA EXPRESS. Dreams have always been a rich source of imagery for Burroughs. In MY EDUCATION they form the core of the book. Embodying and exploring the author's unique and provocative ideas on writing, painting, and creativity, MY EDUCATION is also profoundly personal, and may be as close to a memoir as he will write.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Airport. Like a high school play, attempting to convey a special atmosphere."
Industry Reviews
"Dream fragments and direct autobiography, present in the novels since the beginning, have been infiltrating Mr. Burrough's late work more and more; now they appear to have won the day. These pages reveal how thin the membrane is that separates the writer's fictional conceits from the life he has lived, asleep and awake (we can see the flow in both directions) and how this flow is itself perhaps Mr. Burroughs's real subject."
New York Times Book Review - Robert Cohen (01/15/1995)
"In the end, the books' strongest feature is Burroughs' language. His blunt, grumpy vocabulary. It's hugely satisfying to read something approaching nonfiction from Burroughs simply because it's good to know what he thinks, curious to see what his language is like with his fictional guard down. He is very straightforward."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Benjamin Weissman (06/18/1995)
"...a brilliant mind that has mellowed but remained very much in tune the crackle of the universe."
Burgess
