At 69, novelist William Burroughs has led, from any point of view, an interesting life.

He has survived a fifteen-year addiction to morphine. During that period, he began his career as a novelist with "Junky," an autobiographical account of his addiction, published in 1963.
"Junky" was followed by "Naked Lunch." Burroughs' most widely recognized work While "Junky" was written in conventional novel form, he has used it as the experimental writing that has characterized his work since then.
BURROUGHS READ from his forthcoming novel, "The Place of Dead Roads," Friday afternoon at the Associated Kansas Writing Programs Conference, held this weekend at the University of Kansas.
thought. This leads to wild shifts of scene. For instance, “The Place of Dead Roads” is basically a Western, but it contains, among other things, a humorous essay on ancient Egyptian afterlife.
Burroughs' writing does not follow a standard plot or story line. Instead, he uses the ordinary narrative technique.
However, Denise Low, lecturer in English, said, "I think more writers are moving to some kind of marriage of all the elements of our minds, and so I see him as being one of the writers who's been doing it for quite awhile and who's time may be coming."
James B. Carothers, associate professor of English, said, "His style, his subject matter, and his themes are powerful." He is one of the many people. He is not a reassuring writer."
BURROUGHS, who has lived in New York City, Mexico City, London, and Tangier, Morocco, moved to Lawrence about three years ago. He seldom gives interviews, but according to James Grauerholz, Burroughs' personal secretary, he enjoys the University sphere and low-key title of Lawrence.

Burroughs will be a visiting professor at KU next semester. His activities will consist of a reading, a talk and a visit to a few classes, Grauerholz said.
Burroughs still travels and gives occasional readings, Grauerholz said. At home he "spends most of his time reading and writing."
dropping by to invite him to parties."
Grauerholt said.
Low said, "He has a national reputation. He will be quite an asset to the (English) department. Everyone I've talked to among the creative writing faculty and administrators have been quite pleased."
THE CONFERENCE also featured readings by novelist Robert Day, who is a KU graduate and Writer-in-Residence at KU this fall, and Jane Ciabattari, Editor-in-Chief of Dial magazine.
