Naked Lunch - William Burroughs
Naked Lunch (The Restored Text) - William Burroughs
Say hello to Bradley the Buyer, the best narcotics agent in the business. Check yourself into the hospital where Dr Benway works - but donā²t expect adrenalin if you need it (the night porter shot it up for kicks). Meet Dr ā²Fingersā² Schafer, the Lobotomy Kid, and his greatest creation, ā²The Complete American De-anxietized Manā², a marvel of invasive psychiatry who has been reduced to nothing but a spinal cord.
Told by an Ivy League-educated narcotics addict, ā²Naked Lunchā² juxtaposes two journeys: the narratorā²s physical progress from America to North Africa, via Mexico, and a terrifying descent into his own altered consciousness. In this ā²Interzoneā², loosely based on Burroughsā² temporary home of Tangier, sex, drugs and murder are the most basic of commodities, and the basest desires have become completely banal.
Provocative, influential, morbidly fascinating and mordantly funny, ā²Naked Lunchā² takes us on an exhilarating ride through the darkest recesses of the human psyche - a ride which stunned the literary world when first published in the 1950s, and is still guaranteed to shock.
