New Burroughs Documentary Is Terrific!

By Dr. Benway

from Santa Cruz, CA

Comments about PBS Independent Lens: William S Burroughs: A Man Within DVD:

As a long time Burroughs fan as well as someone who's seen just about every other WSB documentary, I found "A Man Within" to be full of footage and interviews I haven't seen before. A fresh take on a true American original. Burroughs was a visionary and innovator in literature, the visual arts, and influenced a wide range of musicians from Debby Harry, Mick Jagger, and Lou Reed, to Donald Fagen and Walter Becker better known as Steely Dan. A must DVD have for any real WSB fan.
