All things considered, would you rather have the life and career of Kerouac, Burroughs or Ginsberg.

All lead amazing lives and significantly shaped American Literature, but if I had to be one...it would be Burroughs. Dude was dope!

Would love to hear #bookstr thoughts on the matter!

He was and was using dope.

😂 wrote the book on it

Don’t forget Paul Bowles in that literary orbit.

It’s fascinating how productive artist in that era were on heroin.

Cannot say that since it flooded every street corner and then every pharmacy.

Definitely a bad scene to be avoided like the plague that it is.

Burroughs. He understood that magic is real science.
