Mexico City / Place of the Legend - "Bounty's Bar"

In 1951 Krika's Restaurant was Bounty's Bar - the place of the "decisive act" of Beat Generation writer William S. Burroughs' long strange life. All he did was shoot his wife.

 

"I guess I'll be here the rest of my life

All I did was shoot my wife"

- "Parchman Farm"

 

Burroughs fled to Mexico to avoid a sentence (on drug charges) to be served at a prison farm in the South. He then fled back to the US to avoid murder charges in Mexico.
