Well I got through Burroughs’ Deposition somehow. For me it was just another ridiculous rant from people who’ve fought for rights and freedoms and then turn around and abuse them and both blame the government for the problem and exhort the government to do something because it’s not the individual, but society’s fault for ___________(fill in the blank).
Okay, I still can admire the guy for having the balls to produce a book about his own personal failings, in this case, drug addiction. And admire as much the publisher for doing his job. Now on to the ‘novel’ (quote used since like many novelists, the book is more non-fiction than not).
As for the story, I must say I’m glad I’ve already been through Burgess’ Clockwork Orange to get into the swing of the language a little bit quicker.
This hasn’t thrilled or excited me so far, but I’ll give it a few more pages to hook me.
