Synopsis
In 1953 William Burroughs trekked into the jungles of South America seeking the hallucinogenic plant known as "yage." Seven years later Allen Ginsburg found and ingested the substance. The correspondence between the two writers, published in 1963 by City Lights Books as a "novel," has a weird power. THE YAGE LETTERS are, at turns, poetic, grim, trippy, and caustically funny. It is a minor treasure of the "beat" movement, and a fascinating insight into the lives and minds of two writers in the years prior to their acclaim and infamy.
