Description

A Fine, tight copy in a Near Fine dust jacket with a small chip to the heel of the spine. Original price of $6.00 present on front flap and no zip code on rear panel as called for in the first issue jacket. Naked Lunch is structured as a series of loosely connected vignettes, intended by Burroughs to be read in any order. The reader follows the narration of junkie William Lee, who takes on various aliases, from the U.S. to Mexico, eventually to Tangier and the dreamlike Interzone. The vignettes are drawn from Burroughs' own experiences in these places and his addiction to drugs.
