EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -»Jag skrev Junkie, men det var Queer som skrev mig. « William S. Burroughs » Queer är en bok som ger fler dimensioner till ett redan mytologiserat författarskap. Frågan är om den inte också är en av Burroughs bästa.« FRIA TIDNINGAR Queer skrevs under tidigt femtiotal, men då den ursprungligen ansågs för extrem för att tryckas publicerades den första gången så sent som 1985. Romanen handlar om William Lee, en exil­amerikan som flackar omkring i Mexiko och Sydamerika. Han försöker bli kvitt sitt heroinberoende men blir i stället besatt av Eugene Allerton, en ung bisexuell man som mest tolererar Lees sällskap i väntan på något bättre. Tillsammans ger de sig ut för att leta efter en kraftfull hallucinogen som sägs skapa telepatiska förmågor. I översättning av Einar Heckscher, med ett förord av för­fatta­ren - såväl som ett nyskrivet förord av Daniel Westerlund. »Queer är en häpnadsväckande bok. Ett förbigånget verk som blev legendariskt i sin frånvaro.« LOS ANGELES TIMES »Ett storverk. William S. Burroughs hjärta, naket framför oss.« ALLEN GINSBERG »I dag lever vi alla i William S. Burroughs romaners värld.« KATHY ACKER WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS [1914 -1997] föddes i St. Louis. Efter studier vid Harvard och diverse kortvariga anställningar, som skadedjursutrotare och privatdetektiv, råkade han i klammer med rättvisan och tvingades i exil. Under femtio-, sextio- och sjuttiotalen bodde han bland annat i Mexiko City, Tanger, Paris och London. I Mexiko började han skriva romaner. Junkie blev hans debut [1953], medan Queer [skriven under samma tid] kom ut först 1985. Vid tiden för publiceringen hade Burroughs hunnit bli en av den amerikanska efterkrigstidens viktigaste författare, vars unika språkradikalitet haft betydelse långt utanför litteraturens gränser.

Burroughs gives credits to him in his writings, and goes as far as to say that he based his vision of Mars on that of Flammarion. John Carter is transported to Mars in a way described by Flammarion in Urania (1889), where a man from earth is transported to Mars as an astral body where he wakes up to a lower gravity, two moons, strange plants and animals and several races of advanced humans. In The Plurality of Inhabited Worlds and Lumen, he further speculates about plant people and other creaturs on far away planets, elements that would later appear in the Barsoom stories.The Barsoom series, where John Carter in the late 1800s is mysteriously transported from Earth to a Mars suffering from dwindling resources, has been cited by many well known science fiction writers as having inspired and motivated them in their youth, as well as by key scientists involved in both space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life. Elements of the books have been adapted by many writers, in novels, short stories, comics, television and film.Edgar Rice Burroughs (September 1, 1875 – March 19, 1950) was an American author, best known for his creation of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres.

Out of Time s Abyss is a fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs. The novel is a direct sequel to The Land That Time Forgot and The People That Time Forgot, continuing the lost world saga begun in the earlier stories. It connects the previous two installments, bringing in characters introduced in each. Burroughs completes the revelation of his lost world s unique biological system, only hinted at in the previous installment, in which the slow progress of evolution in the world outside is recapitulated as a matter of individual metamorphosis. This system forms a thematic element serving to unite the three Caspak stories.The Caspak trilogy was first published in Blue Book Magazine as a three-part serial in the issues for September, October and November 1918, with this short novel being the third and final installment. The complete trilogy was later combined for publication in book form in 1924 under the title The Land That Time Porgot. AUDIO: Reading by Ralph Snelson,  running time: 3 hours, 41 min. Unabridged full version. E-book: ePUB, 35 700 words, reading time approximately 3 hours.Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American author, best known for his creation of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres.
