The Ultimate William S. Burroughs Quiz

Posted on February 22, 2011

Doc behind eccentric writer airs tonight on Independent Lens

  

What do you know about William Seward Burroughs, the man? Tonight on Independent Lens, we premiere Yony Leyser's wonderfully intimate William S. Burroughs: A Man Within, which differentiates the larger-than-life Bull Lee myth from the real, shy, insecure, irascible human being he was behind the scenes. Watch the trailer and play the Ultimate William S. Burroughs Quiz after the jump.


        

Our cousins on the IL blog have designed the ultimate (and especially difficult) William S. Burroughs Quiz to separate the wheat from the chaff. The questions are multiple choice, but the longer you take to answer, the fewer points you'll earn. Have at it. (NOTE: quiz works best in Firefox, Explorer, or Chrome browsers). Or click here.
