William S Burroughs

I think the quote is closer to: "Anyone who says they don't enjoy fucking 12-year-old Arab boys is either insane or lying."

In fact, the quote is not known to be uttered by Burroughs himself, but is attributed to him by another in a (possibly autobiographical) work that mentions or discusses Burroughs. The exact details escape me, but I'll try to track down some research sources for you. Due to the incendiary nature of the quote, it doesn't turn up on Google much! :) But there is plenty of other evidence that Burroughs and his friends visited northern Africa regularly to have sex with boys. Maybe not 12, but certainly at least 14, looking like 12. Burroughs lived in Tangiers and Morocco for a time (which is where he wrote Naked Lunch). --Atom 00:51, 19 July 2006 (EST)

Thanks for the information! Looking forward to know more.
