William S. Burroughs thread.
I've just read Naked Lunch.
It's shit isn't it
Maybe I'm just a secret edgelord but I found it hilarious start to finish
I have also only read Naked Lunch but I loved it. Which of his other novels are similar? From my understanding his work is sort of a mixed bag.

the Nova trilogy is a trip
I prefer his more honest biographic pieces like Junky and Queer tho
>>7998375
Definitely a mixed bag. Various shades of shit
>>7998375
He said that his entire work is one unite great piece

The Nova Trilogy is kind of Naked Lunch essentialized and exaggerated, his last trilogy is more conventional and hallucinatory - I like it far better. Got Place of Dead Roads in front of me, shit's great.
