Naked Lunch is a 1959 novel by American writer William S. Burroughs. The book is structured as a series of loosely connected vignettes, which Burroughs intended to be read in any order.
"I am not an entertainer... I am an instrument for writing down", wrote the legendary drug addict, homosexual, wife-killer, but also one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century - William Seward Burroughs.
And indeed, about a book like this, in which the irrational and the hallucinatory, the homosexual and the shocking, the apocalyptic and the parodic, the controversial and the innovative alternate almost cinematically... we can say almost anything except that it is "entertaining". It rebels and resists literary conventions, criticizes totalitarianism and violence, and screams deafeningly against drugs and drug addiction.
Although the book and the author, unfortunately (and perhaps fortunately!), never had the support of academic criticism, numerous prominent admirers among writers and rock musicians have provided them with a cult status. Naked Lunch is still considered an "authentic masterpiece", while Gentleman Junkie, as this "guru of the beat generation" was called - greatly influenced the later rock generation.
