A nightmare of terror, biting satire, and transcendent technique—William Burroughs’ masterpiece that breaks taboos.

One of William Burroughs’ seminal works, *Naked Lunch* stands alongside the works of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg as a pinnacle of Beat Generation literature.
The story follows Bill Lee, the protagonist, as he wanders through the bizarre and twisted wasteland of the "Interzone," a place dominated by drugs, depravity, political conspiracies, paranoia, brutal medical experiments, and an unquenchable hunger. Burroughs’ avant-garde style plunges readers into a hallucinatory and surreal world of drug addiction and chaotic imagery.

Upon its release, the book was subjected to censorship due to its extreme content but was later celebrated for its innovation. Its impact extends beyond literature, influencing music, film, and other cultural spheres. In 1992, it was adapted into a film by David Cronenberg.

"A scream from hell. Savage, terrifying, and hilariously grotesque, this book swings between uncontrolled hallucinations and razor-sharp satire." – Newsweek
"*Naked Lunch* is a feast you will never forget once you’ve tasted it." – J.G. Ballard
