Interzone

»Interzone» portrays the development of Burroughs' 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' 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.
