William Burroughs

William Burroughs was an American writer and visual artist. His portrayal of the Beat Generation significantly influenced pop culture of the time, and much of his edgy work was semi-autobiographical in nature.

He was involved in the church of Scientology in the 60s, citing that he had received many benefits from its study. He cut ties with the church shortly after he began studies, and the rest of his life was taken over by addiction.
