A nightmarishly terrifying and fiercely satirical masterpiece by William Burroughs, breaking taboos with astonishing literary skill.

 

One of William Burroughs' most renowned works, standing alongside the writings of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg as a pinnacle of Beat Generation literature.
Following protagonist Bill Lee as he wanders through the bizarre and perverse wasteland of "Interzone"—a realm dominated by drugs, depravity, political conspiracies, paranoia, brutal medical experiments, and an unending thirst—the novel immerses readers in a surreal and chaotic world filled with hallucinatory visions.

 

Upon its release, the book faced censorship due to its extreme content, but it was later recognized for its innovation, influencing not only literature but also music, film, and broader cultural movements.
This restored edition includes Burroughs' own annotations, alternate drafts, and previously omitted material from the original text.
In 1992, the novel was adapted into a film by David Cronenberg.

 

"A cry from hell. Horrific, terrifying, and brutally hilarious, this book oscillates between uncontrollable hallucination and razor-sharp satire." – Newsweek
"Naked Lunch is a feast one can never forget after tasting." – J. G. Ballard
