Praise for Come in with the Dutchman: "This is Burroughs's most accessible, tightly knit work of fiction . Laid out as a stripped-down movie script it's almost as if this is the form that Burroughs has always needed."--Kirkus Reviews "The very name of Burroughs conjures up contorted works of quirky brilliance, a warp of vision through a wild woof of laughter. We have, instead, astoundingly, the script for a gangster film, pure and simple. Well, not so pure . but very simple and very good . It reveals the humorist in Burroughs, the helplessly appalled, obsessed joker."--New York Times Book Review "The rigid conventions of screenwriting give Burroughs's savage vision a Haiku-like purity and intensity.

"--Newsday Praise for William S. Burroughs: "A creator of grim fairy tales for adults, Burroughs spoke to our nightmare fears and, still worse, to our nightmare longings . More than any other postwar wordsmith, he bridged generations; popularity in the youth culture is greater now than during the heady days of the Beats."--Los Angeles Times Book Review "Of all the Beat Generation writers, William S. Burroughs was the most dangerous . He was anarchy's double agent, an implacable enemy of conformity and of all agencies of control-from government to opiates."--Rolling Stone "The most important writer to emerge since World War II . For his sheer visionary power, and for his humor, I admire Burroughs more than any living writer, and most of those who are dead.

"--J. G. Ballard "Burroughs seems to revel in a new medium . A medium totally fantastic, spaceless, timeless, in which the normal sentence is fractured, the cosmic tries to push its way through the bawdry, and the author shakes the reader as a dog shakes a rat."--Anthony Burgess.
