William S. Burroughs 
Interzone 

Interzone portrays the development of Burroughs’s mature writing style by presenting a selection of pieces from the mid-1950s. His outrageous tone of voice represents the exorcism of four decades of oppressive sexual and social conditioning. Burroughs’s close observations of humanity — its ugliness and ignorance — invites the reader to dispense with their traditional notions of decorum, and taste the world as he sees it.
