Naked Lunch by William Burroughs
The anarchic, phenomenally strong-sellling classic from the godfather of the Beats. Welcome to Interzone… Say hello to Bradley the Buyer, the best narcotics agent in the business. Attend international playboy A.J.’s annual party, where the punch is to be treated with extreme caution. Meet Dr ‘Fingers’ Schafer, the Lobotomy Kid and his giant centipede, ‘The Complete American De-anxietized Man.’ And enter the dark and infernal mind of Bill Lee as he pursues his daily quest for the ultimate merchandise… Provocative, influential, morbidly fascinating, ‘Naked Lunch’ is an apocalyptic ride through the darker recesses of the human psyche.‘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’. William Burroughs died in 1997.
