I still don't understand how hacks like Ginsberg and Kerouac even compare to William S. Burroughs.
More offensively, it seems like Naked Lunch is the least liked of the three classic beat books

The hippies produced way more works of art worth preserving than the Beats did. One Hendrix album is better than everything Kerouac put out.

Burroughs is amazing, and Naked Lunch is the best of the beat books imo...

Burroghs is indeed amazing, and Naked Lunch is excellent, but i don't if i'd call it his best.
I like Interzone, Exterminator and The Cat Inside just as much, if not more.
