Being the son of counter-culture author William S. Burroughs is bound to be a trial. After all, the man who frequented lesbian dives and had a fascination with firearms couldn't possibly make that great of a father. Perhaps inevitably, William Jr. (called Billy) referred to himself as "cursed from birth" and in the book of the same name editor David Ohle collects parts of Billy's third and unfinished novel Prakriti Junction, his last journals and poems, and correspondence and conversations to recreate this tortured life. Endowed with the sufferings — but not the patience — of Job, Billy's life was often characterized by tragedy and frustration, although there were also pockets of success and levity. More than just the memoir of a casualty of the Beat Generation, Cursed From Birth provides rare insight in Billy's father, as well as his scene, friends, and times. It also provides an all-too-familiar story of familial difficulties that anyone with difficult parents can understand and appreciate.

Let me tell you a story of a young life riddled with struggle. A life cursed with countless setbacks, betrayal and careless self preservation. As you read, attempt to understand the mind of a lost young man. A young man dealt a bad hand at conception. Born into poverty...Born into the stigma of an unfortunate and vicious cycle. Follow his story as it grabs a hold of all of your human emotions and demands you to acknowledge the cries of what the streets can do to an innocent child's mind and dreams, from birth. Listen, as a young man, who somehow manages to maintain good in his heart, despite the inherited curses of life, is uncontrollably fated to do bad things in order to simply live... Lost, he's compelled to weather the life dealt his way. It's only when he feels he becomes cornered through a series of adverse circumstances that he's forced to find the courage, some cleverness and a little luck to stop living the life, doomed for jail or death and leave it all behind... But there are certain consequences he must first face before getting what he thinks he deserves...

Under the Law of Moses, every firstborn son was predestined to receive the full inheritance and blessing from his father. The purpose of this book is to examine the Scriptures that explain why the firstborn son rarely received the father's inheritance and blessing. Our human birth is our first birth and when we are born again, it is our spiritual birth or second birth. We are born in the flesh, and then we are born again spiritually. Our first birth is cursed because we are all "shapen in iniquity; and (born) in sin" (Psalm 51:5) and because of this, we cannot receive the blessing of Father God. It is when our second birth occurs, that we are made in the image and likeness of God and have God's nature; this qualifies us for the full inheritance and blessing of God. Curse of the Firstborn will walk you from the Garden of Eden to Calvary, revealing how God's blessing was never given to the firstborn son because he represents the flesh. God's blessing was always given to the youngest son because he represents the Spirit.
