My Education: A Book of Dreams

William S. Burroughs

3.7/5 ( ratings)

My Education is William S. Burroughs's final collection, first published two years before his death in 1997. It is a book of dreams, written over several decades and as personal and close to a memoir as we will see. The dreams cover themes from the mundane and ordinary -- conversations with his friends Allen Ginsberg or Ian Sommerville, feeding his cats, procuring drugs or sex -- to the erotic, bizarre, and visionary. Always a rich source of imagery in Burroughs's own fiction, in this book, dreams become a direct and powerful force in themselves.

Mr. Burroughs has lost none of his irreverence or wit, but in recent years he has acquired an elegant, elegiac tone. - The New York Times
