Title: Nothing Is True, Everything Is Permitted: William S. Burroughs at 100

URL: http://www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/exhibits/burroughs/intro.html

Collection: University of Delaware Special Collections Online Exhibitions and Finding Aids

Description: 2014 marks the centenary of the birth of the grandfather of the Beats, el hombre invisible, the gentleman junkie: William S. Burroughs (1914-1997). Burroughs was a founding member of the Beat Generation, which paved the way for counterculture movements in the 1960s. He addressed early themes of gay liberation, deconstructed the linearity of narrative fiction, and influenced cyberpunk and punk rock. “Nothing Is True, Everything Is Permitted”: William S. Burroughs at 100 pays tribute to the most famous junkie writer, the iconoclast, and the reluctant icon. This exhibition was originally on display in the Special Collections main gallery on the second floor of Morris Library from January 28--June 13, 2014.
