William Burroughs

I really enjoyed the William Burroughs Documentary. It was great to see who the man was, and to hear him speak. He is clearly a very smart man, which gives more credibility to his famous cut-up method. Before, I kind of looked at the cut-up method as an experiment, something that an artist stumbled across, but now I see that it is very intentional and profound. It’s hard not to respect him as an artist and a thinker because he is a very thoughtful and articulate speaker. I really liked his quote saying that “art makes people aware of what they know and don’t know.”
