William S. Burroughs: A Man Within review by Kaja Popko

William S. Burroughs: A Man Within explores the life of a Beat writer who was arguably the grittiest and most bedeviling of the group. Despite his association with punk and grunge, Burroughs's work was lyrically plaintive and his voice provided a window to his ineffable sadness. The documentary features interviews with Burroughs and his admirers, but they frustratingly only alight on his literary significance when speaking in terms of personal influence. Leyser attempts to equate Burroughs's gun fetishism with Hunter S. Thompson's recklessness, but Burroughs's most accomplished fiction was the boiling run-off of his inner-demon-induced sweat. Burroughs epitomized the 20th-century ideal of the over-educated libertine and forever changed the conversation about sexual orientation, but his last boyfriend recounts an evening where he confessed his love, only to be laughingly dismissed. A Man Within persuasively argues that Burroughs's most dangerous addiction might have been the refusal of love.

William S Burroughs with Alan Ansen (whom Allen described as an “eccentric expatriate, Harvard educated polymath, secretary Amanuensis to W.H.Auden in early ‘40s Age of Anxiety, also helped type/edit Burroughs’ Naked Lunch & other mss. Tangier 1957-61 on visits.) Snapped by Allen outside the San Remo Cafe, their regular hangout, McDougal Street,  Greenwich Village Fall 1953. This is an alternate of a better known photo of the two.

NYC historian John Joseph writes: The “Remo”, as it was affectionately called, was part of the trifecta of the hippest bars in Greenwich Village that included the Kettle of Fish and Minetta Tavern down the street – places with legendary customers and stories of their own. Unlike the White Horse Tavern whose clientele consisted mainly of the radicals of the 1930s and 40s, the San Remo catered more to this new disaffected generation of artists and writers reacting to the sterile atmosphere of Eisenhower-era America.  Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Frank O’Hara and Gore Vidal were just a handful of this new crop making the San Remo their headquarters to shake things up. It was here that Ginsberg first met Dylan Thomas and in the early 1950s Judith Malina and Julian Beck’s Living Theatre often met and partied here while the troupe was housed nearby at the Cherry Lane Theatre.

My Own Naked Lunch

Burroughs spent 90 days , high off heroine, in a Tangiers hotel room with no food , water or electricity. He managed to pump out Naked Lunch.

I’m spending 30 days locked up in a suburban Bungalow outside Detroit, with a literal trunk lid of snacks, my dog and enough Medicinal grade Marijuana to last through the actual apocalypse....

Same thing right?
