William S. Burroughs wrote about the candiru in his 1959 novel Naked Lunch, describing it as " a small eel-like fish or worm about one-quarter inch through and two inches long patronizing certain rivers of ill repute in the Greater Amazon Basin, will dart up your prick or your asshole or a woman's cunt faute de mieux, and hold himself there by sharp spines with precisely what motives is not known since no one has stepped forward to observe the candiru's life-cycle in situ.

He waited, then dumped the body in the Hudson River, later seeking advice from Burroughs, who suggested he turn himself in.

Semina consisted of collages mixed with poetry by writers Michael McClure, Philip Lamantia, David Meltzer, Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Jean Cocteau, and by Berman himself, which he published under the pseudonym Pantale Xantos.

In 1867, Burroughs published Notes on Walt Whitman as Poet and Person, the first biography and critical work on the poet, which was extensively ( and anonymously ) revised and edited by Whitman himself before publication.

Some, like Otis Adelbert Kline, were exploiting the new market that Burroughs had created ; even Burroughs imitated himself in his Venus series, starting in 1934.

Burroughs himself wrote the introduction to the AK Press reissue of the book.

O ' Rourke and Cameron Crowe, plus a roster of columnists including at times William S. Burroughs, Paul Krassner, David G. Hartwell, the Firesign Theater, and sometimes Paul Williams himself.

Later, in the 1990s, two audio book editions were released, one read by actor David Carradine, and another read by Burroughs himself.

Burroughs flushed the cigarettes down the toilet, and told Carr to get a lawyer and turn himself in.

Burroughs had to reluctantly involve himself as co-signatory and the loan was approved the day before the party was due to sail.

The first includes the stories of Burroughs himself and his early imitators, of whom Otis Adelbert Kline was the most significant.

The title story is about an insect exterminator, a job Burroughs himself once held.

As of 2007, the identity of the boy in the mugshot has not been discerned, although Burroughs ' insertion of a photo of himself into the book — ostensibly depicting the police stenographer who transcribed Schultz's last word — indicates that the mugshot might be a prank on Burroughs ' part, as it is the only photo in the book not to depict a readily identifiable individual.

The Burroughs Corporation was a major American manufacturer of business equipment.

And while it was one of the largest producers of mainframe computers in the world, Burroughs also produced related equipment as well, including typewriters and printers.

In 1886, the American Arithmometer Company was established in St. Louis, Missouri to produce and sell an adding machine invented by William Seward Burroughs ( grandfather of Beat Generation author William S. Burroughs ).

In time, Burroughs was selling more than adding machines, including typewriters.

But the biggest shift in company history came in 1953 ; the Burroughs Adding Machine Company was renamed the Burroughs Corporation and began moving into computer products, initially for banking institutions.

Burroughs was one of the eight major United States computer companies ( with IBM, the largest, Honeywell, NCR Corporation, Control Data Corporation, General Electric, RCA and UNIVAC ) through most of the 1960s.

In terms of sales, Burroughs was always a distant second to IBM.

At the same time, Burroughs was very much a competitor.

In industries like banking, where continuous operations was mandatory, Burroughs large systems penetrated most every large bank, including the Federal Reserve Bank.

The designation for these systems was Burroughs B2500 through B49xx, followed by Unisys V-Series V340 through V560.

* Burroughs made military computers, such as the D825 ( the " D " prefix signifying it was for defense industrial use ), in its Great Valley Laboratory in Paoli, Pennsylvania.

* In 1964 Burroughs had also completed the D830 which was another variation of the D825 designed specifically for real-time applications, such as airline reservations.

The concept can be traced to at least the Dadaists of the 1920s, but was popularized in the late 1950s and early 1960s by writer William S. Burroughs, and has since been used in a wide variety of contexts.

His interest in space, however, was his primary focus, especially after reading science fiction stories by writers such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, which stirred his imagination about life on other planets, such as Mars.

He felt the connection between his screenwriting style and Burroughs ' prose style was so strong, that he jokingly remarked that should Burroughs pass on, " I'll just write his next book.

William S. Burroughs ' first book, Junkie, was published as an Ace Double.

* A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs claims to be the manuscript of John Carter relating his adventures on Mars, except for the first chapter explaining how the manuscript was received.

The idea was used by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the creator of Tarzan, in the seven-novel " Pellucidar " series, beginning with At the Earth's Core ( 1914 ).

Tarzan author, Edgar Rice Burroughs, was pleased with Weissmuller, although he so hated the studio's depiction of a Tarzan who barely spoke English that he created his own concurrent Tarzan series filmed on location in Central American jungles and starring Herman Brix as a suitably articulate version of the character.

* In one of Robert A. Heinlein's last novels, The Number of the Beast ( 1980 ), the heroes flee Earth in a car capable of flight in six dimensions and find several alternate versions of Mars, one which had been colonised by the British and another which is an improbable combination of Burroughs ' fabulous Barsoom with the home planet of the vicious Martians whose invasion of Earth was described by Wells.

The group of manufacturers was first known as " IBM and the Seven Dwarfs ": IBM, Burroughs, UNIVAC, NCR, Control Data, Honeywell, General Electric and RCA.

Shrinking demand and tough competition started a shakeout in the market in the early 1970s — RCA sold out to UNIVAC and GE also left ; in the 1980s Honeywell was bought out by Bull ; UNIVAC became a division of Sperry, which later merged with Burroughs to form Unisys Corporation in 1986.

William S. Burroughs, a core member of the Beat Generation and a very influential postmodern novelist, developed what he called the " cut-up technique " with former surrealist Brion Gysin — in which chance is used to dictate the composition of a text from words cut out of other sources — referring to it as the " Surrealist Lark " and recognizing its debt to the techniques of Tristan Tzara.

However, very few of his works contain fantastic elements ; in most, the appearance of such is explained away, but in its themes of adventure in a strange society, this led to the adventures set in foreign lands by H. Rider Haggard and Edgar Rice Burroughs.

In the 1970s, Burroughs Corporation was organized into three divisions with very different product line architectures for high-end, mid-range, and entry-level business computer systems.

The Burroughs ALGOL compiler was very fast — this impressed the Dutch scientist Edsger Dijkstra when he submitted a program to be compiled at the B5000 Pasadena plant.

It has long had many facilities that are only now appearing in other widespread operating systems, and together with the Burroughs large systems architecture, the MCP provides a very secure, high performance, multitasking and transaction processing environment.

By 1914, Burroughs had become very popular with the reading public, and A. C. McClurg & Company decided to print a number of his formerly serialized tales as novels.

Ace published no hardcover books, only cheap paperbacks, which sold for very little ; Burroughs earned less than a cent royalty on each purchase.

NCR Corporation, Honeywell and Burroughs Corporation followed in the late 1940s with IBM being a very significant import when it opened a manufacturing facility in Greenock in 1953.

Burroughs and Kammerer had gone to primary school together, and as young men, they traveled together and explored Paris ’ s night life: Burroughs said Kammerer “ was always very funny, the veritable life of the party, and completely without any middle-class morality .” Kammerer met Carr when he was leading a youth group of which Carr was a member, and quickly became infatuated with the teenager.

The title is explained in the very first dream, dated 1959: Burroughs is trying to board an airplane, but a woman at the ticket counter " with the cold waxen face of an intergalactic bureaucrat " refuses him passage, informing him, " You haven't had your education yet.

He becomes infatuated with and very protective of Burroughs, who rarely returns these feelings, but still maintains a relationship with him.
