Description

In 1953, William S. Burroughs embarked on an expedition into the jungles of South America in search of yage, the legendary hallucinogen of the Amazon. From the notebooks he maintained and the letters he sent to Allen Ginsberg, Burroughs crafted a narrative of his adventures that would later be known as The Yage Letters. This edition, edited by Oliver Harris, delves into the original manuscripts, unraveling the history of the text and exploring its cultural significance. Additionally, this edition features previously unpublished materials by both Burroughs and Ginsberg. William S. Burroughs is widely regarded as one of the most influential and innovative writers of the 20th century, with notable works such as "Junky," "Naked Lunch," and "The Wild Boys."
