While he's not my favorite writer, I truly do admire Burroughs. It seems like he was writing in order to survive his problems. Writing his way out of the shit of the world. The best of his work is some of the most brutal and desparate stuff I've read, more so than anyone else coming to mind right now.

I also admire writers who can put extremely complex theories and ideas into understandable language.

And I fucking love Walt Whitman.
