Burroughs is probably best known for
his novel The Naked Lunch, which used
unconventional writing techniques to depict an
underground world fighting a technological
society that was self-destructing. The fact that
many countries banned publication of the book
outright and that Massachusetts actually
prosecuted it as obscene made the book extremely
popular within the counterculture of the 1960's,
as a result of which Burroughs became known as
the "Godfather of the Beat Generation." |
