A provocative collection of interviews with the guru of the Beat Generation
The Job is William S. Burroughs at work, attacking our traditional values, condemning what he calls “the American nightmare,” and expressing his often barbed views on Scientology, the police, orgone therapy, history, women, writing, poitics, sex, drugs, and death. His conversation splices images of death-by-hanging with elevators and airports, the story of his drug addiction and cure with ideas on the use of hieroglyphs.
