Stewart Meyer was born in Brooklyn, New York. At age twelve he
discovered Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer in a used
bookstore on Flatbush Avenue and decided to become a writer. He
attended the City University of New York and audited William S.
Burroughs’s lecture series on creative writing. This led to a
lifelong friendship with Mr. Burroughs and to an opportunity to
observe a master writer going from draft to draft.
Meyer’s first novel, The Lotus Crew, was originally published
in 1984. He is currently at work on a second novel, The Heist
Broker, and a memoir, Memory Chips and Reconstituted Pebbles. He
lives in New York City.
“A classic in its own time.” —Gadfly Online
“Meyer has a keen ear for the language of [the] streets and he has
been down there to watch and listen; he brings us a vivid picture
of the new junk underworld. . . . The Lotus Crew is
a superbly crafted novel that says the most basic things about
power, corruption, loyalty, and the total need of heroin
addiction.” —William S. Burroughs
