Naked Lunch: The Restored Text [Library Binding]
![9781433259654: Naked Lunch: The Restored Text [Library Binding]](https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9781433259654-us.jpg)
Naked Lunch is one of the most important novels of the twentieth century, a book that redefined not just literature but American culture. An unnerving tale of a narcotics addict unmoored in New York, Tangiers, and, ultimately, a nightmarish wasteland known as Interzone. The restored text includes many editorial corrections and incorporates Burroughs s notes on the text and several essays he wrote over the years about the book. For the Burroughs enthusiast and neophyte alike, this is a valuable and fresh experience of this classic of our culture.
