Naked Lunch: The Restored Text»rank: 7727par: William S Burroughs
Chroniques et points de vue:From :'He was,' as Salon's Gary Kamiya notes, '20th-century drug culture's Poe, its Artaud, its Baudelaire.

Why has this homosexual ex-junkie, whose claim to fame rests entirely on one book--the hallucinogenic ravings of a heroine addict--so seized the collective imagination? Burroughs wrote Naked Lunch in a Tangier, Morocco, hotel room between 1954 and 1957. ... |

Drums of Autumn»rank: 1014par: Diana Gabaldon
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Set in pre-Revolutionary War America, readers finally have the much awaited fourth book in what will probably become a six book series (The 0utlander series). The talented Diana Gabaldon continues Claire and Jamie's romantic love affair, and introduces Brianna and Roger's story. Eight hundred pages, and several wonderful new characters later, we wonder why we were waiting for a conclusion. lt'll be a long wait for book five, so l recommend you go back and reread 0utlander, Dragonfly in Amber, and Voyager to keep yourself sane. |
