About me I write fiction (one published novel, which bombed out in a most unspectacular manner; screenplay for indie film, which got an airing on BBC2; wrote lyrics for record that soared to the dizzy heights of No 4 on the NME Indie charts) and also occasionally perform stand-up, poems and patter in the guise of 'existential humour in a nouveau proletarian vein'. Have been soooo commercially successful over the years that I'm still working in a shitty factory, and imagine that I'll be there until death, redundancy or retirement - I'd prefer the redundancy, but with my luck.....
The pic is from the back cover of my novel - but 'I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.'
About my library Books I've read over the years that have lodged themselves in the forefront or nether regions of my mind.

I dig your review of Burrough's, Junkie. I'm new to Librarything and just listed my two ( ancient )paperback copies of Junkie. Your review is among the best I've read. In fact, it makes me want to reread Junkie all these many years later. You're dead-on in your assessment of Junkie and Queer, Burrough's other early work not published until years later. When he wrote those he wasn't the Beat, Punk superstar that he became Post-Naked Lunch. He was the real deal and his writing in these early works was lean and mean, as well as extremely innovative for its time.
Best,
John
