It's William S. I like Burroughs quite a bit, but the non-linear format takes a bit of adjusting. His style is not like most other writers. Didn't care much for the Cronenberg film, either. Naked Lunch is still widely read, maybe mostly because it was banned in this country for quite awhile. I do think that he is worth the time. His books are interesting, albeit more than a little bizarre and disjointed.
