I just finished watching the film "Naked Lunch". Wow. Netflix is going to be the end of me - I'm finally seeing all the movies I was too young to see when they came out, the ones I was desperate to see at the time. Naked Lunch has some, well, unusual themes. The one I identified with was how writing sort of happens to you - it takes you, often at inopportune moments. I loved how Burroughs described it as "filing reports". It's so appropriate! It's a duty, a burden, and an illness. It takes and it gives, it frees and and it enslaves. And it is a full-fledged addiction.
