In A Stone for Danny Fisher , Harold Robbins wrote of an ugly part of New York, where flick-knives and bare fists were the passport to wealth and position. In Never Leave Me he shows that the oak-paneled offices of big business, and the expense-account frolics of Madison Avenue hucksters, are not very far removed from Danny Fisher's jungle world. Life in New York's hard-boiled upper income brackets is just as vicious, cruel and deadly as life on the streets of the lower East Side. The smooth words, the expensive clothes, the plush backgrounds, only serve to mask the same frantic drive for material success, and the motto 'I've got mine, to hell with everyone else.' Never Leave Me is the memorable story of one man from this world and how he almost tore his life to pieces in a frenzy of passion and a hunger for power. Die größten Hörerlebnisse nur bei Audible.

  • Naked Lunch for Lawyers: William S. Burroughs on Capital Punishment
    Batey: Naked LunchNAKED for Lawyers: LUNCH William FOR S. Burroughs LAWYERS: on Capital Punishme WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, PORNOGRAPHY, THE DRUG TRADE, AND THE PREDATORY NATURE OF HUMAN INTERACTION t ROBERT BATEY* At eighty-two, William S. Burroughs has become a literary icon, "arguably the most influential American prose writer of the last 40 years,"' "the rebel spirit who has witch-doctored our culture and consciousness the most."2 In addition to literature, Burroughs' influence is discernible in contemporary music, art, filmmaking, and virtually any other endeavor that represents "what Newt Gingrich-a Burroughsian construct if ever there was one-likes to call the counterculture."3 Though Burroughs has produced a steady stream of books since the 1950's (including, most recently, a recollection of his dreams published in 1995 under the title My Education), Naked Lunch remains his masterpiece, a classic of twentieth century American fiction.4 Published in 1959' to t I would like to thank the students in my spring 1993 Law and Literature Seminar, to whom I assigned Naked Lunch, especially those who actually read it after I succumbed to fears of complaints and made the assignment optional. Their comments, as well as the ideas of Brian Bolton, a student in the spring 1994 seminar who chose Naked Lunch as the subject for his seminar paper, were particularly helpful in the gestation of this essay; I also benefited from the paper written on Naked Lunch by spring 1995 seminar student Christopher Dale. Gary Minda of Brooklyn Law School commented on an early draft of the essay, as did several Stetson University colleagues: John Cooper, Peter Lake, Terrill Poliman (now at Illinois), and Manuel Ramos (now at Tulane) of the College of Law, Michael Raymond of the English Department and Greg McCann of the School of Business Administration.

    1 THE SER-CHARLAP FAMILY ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vol. 7, No. 3 Av/Elul 5756; August 1996 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM FIDDLER ON THE ROOF TO FIDDLEFEST Fiddler On the Roof, adapted from the stories of Sholom Aleichem, portrayed the archetypical East European Jewish experience, and we all could identify with it. Especially so with such fine string players as Solie Fott (1312,Pl.8a) anp Yehezkiel Beinisch (262,Pl.3h) carrying on the fabled Charlap musical tradition. Instead of leaving his home in the mythical Anatevka, one family member escaped service in the Polish army right after World War I and arrived in the United States in 1920 or 1921. Samuel Ser (1420,Pl.8cb) had fled his native Zareby Koscielnie (Zaromb) for Danzig, then a "free city." Without sufficient money, he was unable to bribe the officials into granting him a visa. His aunt, Genendel Ser Fott (1300,Pl.8a) of Chattanooga, Tennessee came to his rescue by sending him $200.00. The necessary papers were forged and Sam came across the Atlantic in steerage. Chattanooga held little attraction for him and he decided to settle on the Lower East Side of New York with its distinctive Yiddish character. He set up a tailor shop at 70 Forsythe Street. By 1927 he had saved enough money to send for his wife Brucha (Bertha) (1423) and daughter Sylvia (1441). The family expanded with the birtli of Julius (1440) and Helen (1442). Both are now grandparents and live in Florida. But Helen's daughter, Susan Kaplan (1676), was drawn to the vibrant cultural life of New York - and that Jewish fiddle has reappeared in Susan's life.
