Not even close.

I liked Cities of the red night quite a lot as an unrepentant McCarthyfag. McCarthy seems to like Burroughs too, Thalidomide kid feels like a homage to William "burro" Burroughs. But McCarthy's prose >>>>>> Burroughs' prose.

so was schizophrenia part of the marketing, or did this guy really think that demons are talking to him and telling him to write stories? 

now that i think about it, there are a bunch of born rich failures who abuse narcotics and then think the demons are making them go into art/entertainment

HIs personal favorite was dihydrocodeine, of which he stated triumphantly that it had a cocaine-like edge and lasts forever, with which i agree. He moved to Morocco solely because it was easier to obtain opiates and for the access to boywhores. Truly, the /lit/erary lifestyle made flesh.

Pretty sure he thought some old Arabian sufi mystic was speaking through him or some shit

drugs are for faggots

Skimmed his essays. He was kinda angry that Beckett wasn't very interested in him when they met.

>pynchon

ive only read the pynchon lites but pynchon blueballs you on being blueballed and no one can deny theyre bloated

>faulkner

faulkner's prose can be genuinely pretentious while having childishly portrayed dull southern gothic villians

>mccarthy

mccarthy is the most consistently engaging of the three but there is a larp factor that can be comical

>burroughs

burroughs was an absolute genius centuries ahead of his time if he hadnt himself manifested the mindset required to enjoy him into existence and its a tragedy that he is mentioned alongside the beats when he must have only been after their dicks. undeniably the most creative worldbuilder of all of them. if he only cared slightly more to do some trimming he would have the place he deserves

samefag

no i just happened to agree. i bet op has read more pynchon than me

>>21954894 (OP)

Stop, please, my poor Pynch heart

I mean Pynchon is bit of Burroughs-lite. His Zaniness, pornography and conspiracy have clear lineage in Burroughs.

>>21954894 (OP)

you're correct yes



peak passages in miller and the ee cummings novel are > burroughs

>>21954894 (OP)

Burroughs > Burroughs ~ Burroughs &lt; Burroughs



Back and forth.
