Queer
by William S. Burroughs
Introduction
When I lived in Mexico City at the end of the 1940s, it was a city of one million people, with clear
sparkling air and the sky that special shade of blue that goes so well with circling vultures, blood
and sand—the raw menacing pitiless Mexican blue. I liked Mexico City from the first day of my
first visit there. In 1949, it was a cheap place to live, with a large foreign colony, fabulous
whorehouses and restaurants, cockfights and bullfights, and every conceivable diversion. A
single man could live well there for two dollars a day. My New Orleans case for heroin and
marijuana possession looked so unpromising that I decided not to show up for the court date, and
I rented an apartment in a quiet, middle-class neighborhood of Mexico City.
I knew that under the statute of limitations I could not return to the United States for five years, so
I applied for Mexican citizenship and enrolled in some courses in Mayan and Mexican
archaeology at Mexico City College. The G.I. Bill paid for my books and tuition, and a seventy-
five-dollar-per-month living allowance. I thought I might go into farming, or perhaps open a bar on
the American border.
The City appealed to me. The slum areas compared favorably with anything in Asia for sheer filth
and poverty. People would shit all over the street, then lie down and sleep in it with the flies
crawling in and out of their mouths. Entrepreneurs, not infrequently lepers, built fires on street
corners and cooked up hideous, stinking, nameless messes of food, which they dispensed to
passersby. Drunks slept right on the sidewalks of the main drag, and no cops bothered them. It
seemed to me that everyone in Mexico had mastered the art of minding his own business.
