Naked Lunch by William S Burroughs 

FIRST PAPERBACK EDITION [1966] GROVE PRESS / BLACK CAT

Vintage paperback.  Tight, square and potentially unread copy.  

Cover shows some visible wear as well as discoloration from age..   Reads perfectly with tanning to pages.

The book is structured as a series of loosely connected vignettes. Burroughs stated that the chapters are intended to be read in any order. The reader follows the narration of junkie William Lee, who takes on various aliases, from the U.S. to Mexico, eventually to Tangier and the dreamlike Interzone. The vignettes are drawn from Burroughs' own experiences in these places and his addiction to drugs.
