Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘A true genius and first mythographer of the mid-twentieth century, William Burroughs is the lineal successor to James Joyce. Naked Lunch is a banquet you will never forget’
JG Ballard
‘A delirious exploration of sexual violence through the art of collage.’ Time Out
"Not a novel but a booty bought back from a nightmare, a coldly implacable look at the dark side of our nature."
NEW YORK TIMES
'Look down at my filthy trousers, haven't been changed in months... The days glide by strung on a syringe with a long thread of blood.. I am forgetting sex and all the sharp pleasures of the body – a grey, junk-bound ghost. The Spanish boys call me El Hombre Invisible – The Invisible Man...'
"A roller-coaster ride through hell, a safari to the strangest people of the strangest planet, ourselves... After the anaemic fare of contemporary fiction, sit back and gorge yourself on this feast of a novel."
J.G.BALLARD
