DESCRIPTION
First edition.
Naked Lunch is structured as a series of loosely connected vignettes, intended to be read in any order, following the narration of junkie William Lee. These scenes are drawn from Burroughs own experiences in these places and his addiction to drugs like heroin, morphine and opioids.
Written by William Seward Burroughs II, an American writer and visual artist, widely considered to be a primary figure of the Beat Generation and a major postmodern author who influences popular culture and literature alike.
