About this Item
Description:
Viking: [1985] 8vo. Original green paper wrappers with black title lettering to spine; pp. xxv, [1], 134; minimal toning to spine and lightly marked to front wrapper; otherwise fine. Unrevised and unpublished proof. Ownership most likely that of a reviewer."Queer is a love story" so the blurb states. In typical Burroughs style, the protagonist, a recovering heroin addict, wanders around cities pining for a young man named Eugene Allerton. The story spent 30 years in manuscript form before being eventually taken up by Viking in 1985. The novel is in part a sequel to his more famous earlier novel Junkie, which ends with the stated ambition of finding a drug called Yage, a psychoactive brew made by certain communities in the Amazon basin.

Queer
Seller: Bill & Ben Books, Faringdon, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Originally written in 1952 but not published till 1985, Queer is an enigma - both an unflinching autobiographical self-portrait and a coruscatingly political novel, Burroughs' only realist love story and a montage of comic-grotesque fantasies that paved the way for his masterpiece, Naked Lunch. Set in Mexico City during the early fifties, Queer follows William Lee's hopeless pursuit of desire from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene. As Lee breaks down, the trademark Burroughsian voice emerges; a maniacal mix of self-lacerating humor and the Ugly American at his ugliest. A haunting tale of possession and exorcism, Queer is also a novel with a history of secrets, as this new edition reveals. Seller Inventory # 0102090
