Sull'Autore
William S. Burroughs was a primary figure of the Beat Generation who wrote in the postmodern paranoid fiction genre. Jack Kerouac called Burroughs the "greatest satirical writer since Jonathan Swift," while Norman Mailer declared him "the only American writer who may be conceivably possessed by mostra altro genius." While he is best known for the novels Naked Lunch, Queer, and Junkie, he also collaborated with artists such as Laurie Anderson, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Gus Van Sant, David Cronen-berg, and Sonic Youth to produce films, music, and performance pieces. mostra meno

Recensioni
È un libro forte, complesso, armato. Emerge ovunque quel paesaggio allucinato che è proprio di Burroughs. A tratti complicato da digerire, emerge però una bellezza nascosta nell’esploraIone di uno stile innovativo. Soprattutto resta la stranezza di un testo a tratti quasi troppo moderno per il periodo in cui apparve per la prima volta.
Sembra quasi incredibile che un autore come Burroughs possa aver scritto un libro così delicato e percettivo sul gatto. Definito suo «compagno psichico», il gatto ha accompagnato la sua vita, in varie forme ed esistenze. E gli offre la sua parola in queste pagine a tratti poetiche, ma sempre vibranti. Una lettura breve, ma intensa soprattutto per i più gattofili.

Si parte da un vaghissimo spunto, la colonia Libertatia fondata in Madagascar dal capitano pirata Mission, per poi lanciarsi in un flusso di coscienza dai toni sempre più apocalittici; la confusione è totale, sembra di assistere ad un trip allucinogeno. Probabilmente lo scopo di Burroughs era proprio questo, ma il risultato è stato un racconto senza capo né coda che lascia solo disorientati. Peccato perchè certe immagini che tratteggia sono molto potenti, si vede che ha una bella penna. Forse in futuro potrei dargli una seconda possibilità con qualche opera meno sperimentale, ma per ora la voglia di rileggerlo è poca o nulla.… (altro)
