Naked Eye

This is a collection of William Burrill's often caustic and always humorous column Naked Eye which appears every week in eye Weekly. William Burrill is the secret love-child of Dave Barry and P.J. O'Rourke with all the subtleties of Hunter S. Thompson. Burrill is funny, irreverent, charismatic and insightful. He is also dangerous, not only to himself, but also those around him: Beware. He's led a Hemingwayesque life of booze, women, and words in self-imposed exile in Mexico. He has run for mayor of Toronto - three timesS unsuccessfully. He's been a government propaganda hack, a journalist, a broadcaster and a night-shift factory drone. He is the author of Hemingway: The Toronto Years (Doubleday, 1994) editor of eyeDentical Twins and The Necrofiles (both by Gutter Press). And, he's written a weekly column in Eye Weekly for seven years. Here, at last, is a collection of the best of Burrill's weekly rantings, ravings, and writings. In this long-awaited collection, Burrill ruminates, pontificates, and hallucinates on every subject imaginable, from pop culture to politics to the socioeconomic effects of Chia pets.
