BURROUGHS, William. Early Routines. Santa Barbara: Cadmus Editions. 1982.
Softcover 8vo. Pictorial card wrappers with tan feps; pp. [vi], 54, [ii]; fine.
A collection of’ 'routines’ (Burroughs’ term for fragments or scenarios) from the 1950s from the prolific author of one of the 20th centuries most cult classic novels, The Naked Lunch (1959). Initially securing success with his semi-autobiographical debut novel, Junkie (1953), Jack Kerouac christened the subversive Burrough’s, the "greatest satirical writer since Jonathan Swift" and undeniably, he had an extremely prominent role to play in igniting 60’s counterculture.
