'I can feel the heat closing in, feel them out there making their moves'
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 Edited by James
Grauerholz and Barry Miles
