The best W. S. Burroughs I know of is The Last Words of Dutch Shultz. Shultz was a ruthless gangster who (I think) at one time owned the Cotton Club in Harlem.  He was eventually gunned down by his erstwhile associates who felt he had become a liability. He was rushed to the hospital. Hoping for dying man testimony, the police had a court stenographer write down his dying words, but all they got was seemingly incoherent ranting. (You can find this text online.) Burroughs takes this text and works backwards to reconstruct Shultz's autobiography.

Check out David Chronenberg's adaptation of Burroughs' Naked Lunch (1991). I think it is one of the few examples of a film adaptation that is superior to the original novel.

It's kind of a paen to Burroughs, assemble form various places, including his real-life events (as much as we can know one way or another) i.e. the shooting death of his wife, played by Judy Davis. It's also as much about the film director's tropes IMO

So my take on Burroughs...
I tried to read Naked Lunch. I will have to "cheat" and watch the movie.
Additionally, if you get a chance, read "The Beats" by Harvey Pekar et al.

Brion Gysin's idea of cutting up texts makes much of Burroughs unreadable in a conventional sense, but that's the ugly beauty of it. Literature gets blowed up real good, as the SCTV film critics used to say

@String of Pearls: Yes, Judy Davis is especially good with a creepy kind of sexiness. The film is more of a reconstruction than an adaptation and that is why it succeeds.

WSB has that effect where once you hear him read his own stuff, you can't read it later without hearing that voice in yr head. Also happens with Charles Bukowski bigtime.

A few years back a friend put on a series of themed lit nights, and for beat night the encouragement to the set of readers was to "be" the author you were reading for the public. But I was pretty much the only one who dressed as and played toward the sound of my author, Burroughs. A couple reviews in informal conversationj were favorable.
