Had many friends in the worlds of music, film, and literature including, Jack Kerouac, Allan Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, David Cronenberg, and Gus Van Sant. Collected works by the time of his death at the age of 83 from an apparent heart attack include some 66+ short stories and full length books being published including, Naked Lunch, Junky, Cities of the Red Night and Bladerunner.
