... i've been trying to read the soft machine but there's a passage that keeps frustrating me where burroughs writes from the point of view of some kind of anti-homosexual agent looking to bust some queers. much more disturbing than when he writes from the point of view of a narcotics agent...
... i also found it mildly disturbing when, in on the road, kerouac writes about pulling a gun on a fag in the bathroom of some bar... (i've only ever read the "original scoll," i don't know if this incident made it into the version where all the names are changed...)
