"Anything by William S. Burroughs." I had to do a double-take on that. But O.K. - no problem. After a little research I realized I was confusing him with Edgar Rice Burroughs, author of Tarzan and a bunch of science fiction.

Philip Jose Farmer wrote a short story with the premise "What if William Burroughs wrote the Tarzan novels?" IIRC, it was called "The Jungle-Rot Kid on the Nod".

Jeez, I thought I was the only guy who remembered that one. Speaking of convolute, "Dahlgren" by Samuel Delaney took me a whole summer when I was 14. I could probably sue for psychological damage now.
