Burroughs has undeniable talent. His writing is poignant and funny. Although I haven't seen the film based on this book of memoirs, I can't imagine it measures up. His style reminds me a bit of Sedaris, in that he looks back on his childhood in a very tongue-in-cheek manner. This is not great literature, but that doesn't mean it isn't great reading.
