silent_george 's review for:

Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs

3.0

---

Oof! The kind of read you need a debrief session after, or perhaps therapy or a Zen retreat, depending on your disposition. I would "Recommend" this as an excellent exploration of addiction, psychosis, mid-20th-century subculture – but with a huge disclaimer that it goes to some completely depraved places. Burroughs is a fearless explorer and poet, though, so if your psychic scuba gear is up for it, it's worth it.
