Today's Webtip: Learn to Read
William Burroughs was one of those authors who had a profound effect on my cultural development as a teenager. Aside from exposing me to all of the scary things any good suburban parent wanted to hide from their kids, he also led me to an incredibly long list of other authors and artists.
Although I will never have a chance to discuss those artists with the man himself, I can now take some consolation in the act of listening to him talking to a class at the Naropa Institute.
A series of videos from his 1979 class on creative writing are now available for viewing. Something even non-writer might want to consider, as Mr. Burroughs is also teaching the art of creative reading. Something we all could benefit from.
You can find the complete series as well as a description of the individual videos at dangerousminds.net.
