Naked Lunch: The Restored Text

★★★★★
★★★★★
3.45 (85,567 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): William S. Burroughs

Nightmarish and fiercely funny, William Burroughs' virtuoso, taboo-breaking masterpiece Naked Lunch follows Bill Lee through Interzone: a surreal, orgiastic wasteland of drugs, depravity, political plots, paranoia, sadistic medical experiments and endless, gnawing addiction. One of the most shocking novels ever written, Naked Lunch is a cultural landmark, now in a restored edition incorporating Burroughs' notes on the text, alternate drafts and outtakes from the original.

'A masterpiece. A cry from hell, a brutal, terrifying, and savagely funny book that swings between uncontrolled hallucination and fierce, exact satire' Newsweek

'Naked Lunch is a banquet you will never forget' J. G. Ballard

About William S. Burroughs

William S. Burroughs was born on February 5 1914 in St Louis. In work and in life Burroughs expressed a lifelong subversion of the morality politics and economics of modern America. To escape those conditions and in particular his treatment as a homosexual and a drug-user Burroughs left his homeland in 1950 and soon after began writing. By the time of his death he was widely recognised as one of the most politically trenchant culturally influential and innovative artists of the twentieth century. His numerous books include Naked Lunch Junky Queer Nova Express Interzone The Wild Boys The Ticket That Exploded and The Soft Machine. After living in Mexico City Tangier Paris and London Burroughs finally returned to America in 1974. He died in 1997.
