A review by gabis2345
The Wild Boys: A Book of the Dead by William S. Burroughs

a mess of words in an endless disconnected/ disjointed ramble that somehow puts you in an atmospheric transe. absorb the words, don’t link them to a larger meaning. you start to think you might be following but then it makes no sense anymore and that is most certainly intentional. it feels like burroughs wrote it for himself not anyone else. it’s his way of expressing himself through his writing and for that it’s admirable. paragraphs read like chaotic thoughts. once you just accept that it can be a pleasant read. personally i consider it as an exploration on language and words and in that matter I appreciate it. in some lines I was impressed by his odd way of putting things into words and that made it somehow beautiful.
an incredibly unique reading experience. i’ve never been so confused in reviewing a book. but I guess that’s understandable since I was also confused while reading it.
i have really conflicting feelings towards it. i guess I’ll just accept it for what it is.
too much sex tho.
