"You gotta read "Naked Lunch". Funny as hell as pederasty and heroin addiction can be.
If you feel you need to 'understand' the book you have to read his 2 previous books: "" and "Junky".
One soon realizes that far from a 'futuristic society', Burroughs is actually describing the back-rooms of Tangier, where older European and american men indulge in hard drugs and young Arab boys. Same with passages describing Mexico City, New York, New Orleans etc, it's the real cruel world he's describing, the whole true reality of it all."
-Max Milano (Author of "The Mechanicals of Recoleta")
Just thought this would be relevant.
I figured it was. I was at the book store and read the first few pages. My mom said shed buy it later. Right now I'm reading The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe.
