If you've read "The Yage Letters", it's easily recognizable

Very well done, pleasant short taken from WSB's first letter to Allen Ginsberg that opens the book. The Burroughs character here is sequential to Mortensen's (excellent) and Sutherland's (abysmal) portrayals in On The Road and Beat. Both John Fleck and Stephen Twardokus do quite well representing the author as an awkward youth and the more familiar cynical junkie, Fleck is particularly on point,completely nailing WSB's nasal intonation and demeanor. The alternating use of color and B&W for telling the "then" and "now" stories works quite well, even though the hairstyles and appearance of the supporting characters fail to render the early 50's setting.
