William Seward Burroughs II (1914–1997) was a prominent American writer and visual artist, widely considered a primary figure of the Beat Generation. A major postmodern author, his work is characterized by experimental techniques, unreliable narrators, and startling accounts of drug culture and underground lifestyles.
