Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs (1992, Paperback, Reissue)

It was burrough's poor attempt at being at being a modernist writer. It was incoherent senseless psycho -babble that had nothing to do with anything.

Every now and then in this book there is a piece of vivid imagery which i suppose would be respectable if the images weren't horribly f-ed up.

I love this book in all it's dirty, sodomizing glory. It's askew references to drug use and sodomy is one of Burroughs' best qualities which shine in this book. I love William S. Burroughs and his off colour humour and writing style. 5 STARS!!!

Widely considered as one of the greatest pieces of American literature, Naked Lunch describes the dreamy, surreal and scattered thoughts showcase Burroughs' amazing ability to contort the English language in any way he sees fit. Chronicling the mis-adventures of Burroughs' alter-ego Lee the Agent through his life of getting high, avoiding the fuzz and finding his next fix, the reader is taken on a tour-de-force of various narratives that shift suddenly and without over-explanation. Anyone interested in Beat literature, Punk music, or counter-culture novels such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas would be extremely pleased with purchasing this wonderful and progressive novel.

+ if anyone says that Americans can't write (which holds some truth) shove a copy of this book in their face.
