It's been years since I read Naked Lunch or any of the other cut-up novels (although I did re-read Junkie and Queer recently)...
If you like the Johnsons, you gotta read his last trilogy: _Cities of the Red Night_, _The Place of Dead Roads_ and _The Western Lands_.
Funny you mention it - The Western Lands is on my book shelf right now. I don't seem to have copies of the other two, but I can dig them up somewhere ... John
Still, I remember the Johnsons... the correct interpretation of WWJD is, of course, What Would a Johnson Do ?
Right, WWJD :) His Johnsons are cypherpunks. Recall who he was. An heir of Burroughs Corporation founders.
