Posts for the Wednesday readings will as a rule be more open. For the Monday readings I will be more likely to ask a specific set of questions. Also, the Wednesday readings will be lighter - nearly always - than the ones due Monday. So, what to post on Burroughs?
- first make your blog, as described above and on the syllabus
- read the excerpts and the interview
- comment on Burroughs' personality, as far as you can make it out
- on his "cut up" style - what motivates it or what is its value
- on his "transgressive" qualities: he sees things differently from regular folk
- or anything you want
- idea: write a Burroughsian cut-up as part of your post. Here's info on how to do it.
