Product Information
Junk is not, like alcohol or a weed, a means to increased enjoyment of life. Junk is not a kick. It is a way of life. In his debut novel, Junky , Burroughs fictionalized his experiences using and peddling heroin and other drugs in the 1950s into a work that reads like a field report from the underworld of post-war America. The Burroughs-like protagonist of the novel, Bill Lee, see-saws between periods of addiction and rehab, using a panoply of substances including heroin, cocaine, marijuana, paregoric (a weak tincture of opium) and goof balls (barbiturate), amongst others. For this definitive edition, renowned Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris has gone back to archival typescripts to re-created the author's original text word by word. From the tenements of New York to the queer bars of New Orleans, Junky takes the reader into a world at once long-forgotten and still with us today. Burroughs's first novel is a cult classic and a critical part of his oeuvre.

Reviews
Praise for William Burroughs : Burroughs voice is hard, derisive, inventive, free, funny, serious, poetic, indelibly American."—Joan Didion A creator of grim fairy tales for adults, Burroughs spoke to our nightmare fears and, still worse, to our nightmare longings. . . . And more than any other postwar wordsmith, he bridged generations; popularity in the youth culture is greater now than during the heady days of the Beats."—Douglas Brinkley, The Los Angeles Times Book Review The most important writer to emerge since World War II. . . . For his sheer visionary power, and for his humor, I admire Burroughs more than any living writer, and most of those who are dead."—J.G. Ballard William was a Shootist. He shot like he wrote—with extreme precision and no fear."—Hunter S. Thompson A book of great beauty . . . . Burroughs is the only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius."—Norman Mailer on Naked Lunch Burroughs seems to revel in a new medium . . . a medium totally fantastic, spaceless, timeless, in which the normal sentence is fractured, the cosmic tries to push its way through the bawdry, and the author shakes the reader as a dog shakes a rat."—Anthony Burgess on The Ticket That Exploded Of all the Beat Generation writers, William S. Burroughs was the most dangerous. . . . He was anarchy's double agent, an implacable enemy of conformity and of all agencies of control-from government to opiates."—Rolling Stone In Burroughs' hands, writing reverts to acts of magic, as though he were making some enormous infernal encyclopedia of all the black impulses and acts that, once made, would shut the fiends away forever." —The New York Times on The Wild Boys, "Reads today as fresh and unvarnished as it ever has."- Will Self on Junky Of all the Beat Generation writers, William S. Burroughs was the most dangerous. . . . He was anarchy's double agent, an implacable enemy of conformity and of all agencies of control-from government to opiates."— Rolling Stone The most important writer to emerge since World War II. . . . For his sheer visionary power, and for his humor, I admire Burroughs more than any living writer, and most of those who are dead."— J.G. Ballard William was a Shootist. He shot like he wrote—with extreme precision and no fear."— Hunter S. Thompson A book of great beauty . . . . Burroughs is the only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius." — Norman Mailer Ever since Naked Lunch . . . Burroughs has been ordained America's most incendiary artist."— Los Angeles Times Burroughs voice is hard, derisive, inventive, free, funny, serious, poetic, indelibly American."— Joan Didion In 1953, at the height of American conformism and anti-communist hysteria, William S. Burroughs published Junky , an irresistible strung-out ode to the joys and perversities of drug addiction. . . . Junky eschews allegory for scrupulous realism. . . . More than anything else, Junky reads like a field guide to the American underworld."— The Daily Beast Retro-cool, like something Don Draper might find in the Greenwich Village pad of that reefer-smoking painter he was seeing in the first season of Mad Men."— Las Vegas Weekly on Naked Lunch A creator of grim fairy tales for adults, Burroughs spoke to our nightmare fears and, still worse, to our nightmare longings. . . . And more than any other postwar wordsmith, he bridged generations; popularity in the youth culture is greater now than during the heady days of the Beats."— The Los Angeles Times Book Review Burroughs seems to revel in a new medium . . . a medium totally fantastic, spaceless, timeless, in which the normal sentence is fractured, the cosmic tries to push its way through the bawdry, and the author shakes the reader as a dog shakes a rat."— Anthony Burgess on The Ticket That Exploded In Burroughs' hands, writing reverts to acts of magic, as though he were making some enormous infernal encyclopedia of all the black impulses and acts that, once made, would shut the fiends away forever."— The New York Times on The Ticket That Exploded Macabre, funny, reverberant, grotesque."— The New York Review of Books on Nova Express Hypnotic; I wish I could quote, but it takes several pages to get high on this stuff. . . . Funny . . . outrageous along the lines of Burroughs's well-established scatology. He can think of the wildest parodies of erotic exuberance and invent the weirdest places for demonstrating them."— Harper's Magazine on Nova Express One of the most interesting pieces of radical fiction we have."— The Nation on The Soft Machine In Burroughs' hands, writing reverts to acts of magic, as though he were making some enormous infernal encyclopedia of all the black impulses and acts that, once made, would shut the fiends away forever."— The New York Times on The Wild Boys, "Reads today as fresh and unvarnished as it ever has."- Will Self on Junky "Of all the Beat Generation writers, William S.
