In 'My Education: A Book of Dreams', William S. Burroughs ventures into uncharted territory, challenging the structure of reality. Dreams, a constant source of inspiration in his work, become a direct and powerful force. Through hundreds of intense and visionary dreams, Burroughs takes us on a unique journey into perception, exploring his ideas about writing, painting, consciousness, and creativity. This book is a personal testimony and an approximation of his memoirs.
William Seward Burroughs II was an American writer and visual artist. He is widely considered a primary figure of the Beat Generation and a major postmodern author who influenced both underground and popular culture and literature. Much of Burroughs's work is highly experimental and features unreliable narrators. Also noted as semi-autobiographical, his work often drew from his experiences with drug addiction, and featured his various places of residence as settings in much of his work. With Brion Gysin, Burroughs popularized the cut-up, an aleatory literary technique. His writing also engaged frequent mystical, occult, or otherwise magical themes, constant preoccupations in both his fiction and real life.
