Burroughs' film appearances (including Decoder and Gus Van Sant's Drugstore Cowboy and Thanksgiving Prayer) with footage from Burroughs' last European reading in May of 1986. It is an essential and entertaining documentary for any viewer or reader who wants to know more about the 'father of the Beat Generation' and author of some of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, including Exterminator, The Place of Dead Roads and Naked Lunch.
