Naked Lunch by William Burroughs
The anarchic, phenomenally strong-sellling classic from the godfather of the Beats.
'A true genius and first mythographer of the mid-twentieth century, William Burroughs is the lineal successor to James JoyceNaked Lunch is a banquet you will never forget' JG Ballard 'A delirious exploration of sexual violence through the art of collage.' Time Out
William Burroughs was born in St Louis, Missouri, in 1914. Immensely influential among the Beat writers of the 1950s – notably Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg – he already had an underground reputation before the appearance of his first important book, ‘Naked Lunch’. Originally published by the daring and influential Olympia Press (the original publishers of Henry Miller) in France in 1959, it aroused great controversy on publication and was not available in the US until 1962 and in the UK until 1964. The book was adapted for film by David Cronenberg in 1991.
