William S Burroughs third and arguably his best novel follows the character William Lee though a series of surrealist adventures which heroin, dark humor and the odd Dr. Benaway all feature.
Originally very difficult from Burroughs to get published because of its controversial subject matter Naked Lunch has since become considered a great piece of American literature even Time Magazine named it in their 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005 .
The book uses Burroughs famous cutaway technique which while it may makes the book sometimes confusing it never gets boring.
Darkly funny and very provocative and very good read.
