This was the most conventional Burroughs novel I’ve ever read, and that made this a pretty quick read. It was painful to read about his experience of unreciprocated queer desire, but this made the narrative voice more personal than the voice of Naked Lunch or Exterminator (the only other two WSB works I’ve read.) I have a difficult time with surrealism, but some of Lee’s routines were quite funny. I’m hoping to read Junky next, re-read Naked Lunch, and then delve into some of WSB’s more challenging novels (the Nova/cut-up trilogy, for starters.
