In "Last Words: The Final Journals," William S. Burroughs reflects on the complexities of human desire and attraction. He suggests that perfection, while often sought after in partners, can ironically hinder sexual attraction. This idea challenges conventional beliefs about allure and highlights how flaws and authenticity can enhance a person's appeal.

Burroughs' insights resonate with the notion that true attractiveness may stem from imperfection, personality, and the rawness of human experience. His writing encourages readers to reconsider their perceptions of beauty and to appreciate the depth that comes from being real rather than 'too perfect.'
