William S. Burroughs Naked Lunch
Grove Press 11/1/2009 0802119263 / 9780802119261 Fiftieth Edition, An Hardcover Fine
0802119263 2009 Grove Press. 50th Anniversary Edition. Also includes a laid in bookplate signed by legendary author William Burroughs, along with an original program from the author's funeral at Liberty Hall in Lawrence, Kansas. Brand new hardcover copy in a protective slipcase, still sealed in original shrinkwrap. "Why has this homosexual ex-junkie, whose claim to fame rests entirely on one book--the hallucinogenic ravings of a heroin addict--so seized the collective imagination? Burroughs wrote Naked Lunch in a Tangier, Morocco, hotel room between 1954 and 1957. Allen Ginsberg and his beatnik cronies burst onto the scene, rescued the manuscript from the food-encrusted floor, and introduced some order to the pages. It was published in Paris in 1959 by the notorious Olympia Press and in the U.S. in 1962; the landmark obscenity trial that ensued served to end literary censorship..." 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
