Inspired by a meeting with William S. Burroughs in a London tea shop, this short collection by Philip Willey blends fact and fiction to tell the bizarre story of Burroughs' life. The chapters take on different parts of the Burroughs legacy, and are illustrated by Lyle Schultz. Included is an intimate portrait of Burroughs' final days by George Laughead, one of his friends in Lawrence, Kansas.
