Give it a try. It's incredibly disjointed and I didn't like it, but people seem to rave about it so perhaps I'm the pleb here.

Fuck no. It's nothing but Burroughs' drug-trip word vomit. There's really no literary merit to it and seems geared to just shock the public with how gross it could be. Burroughs was ashamed of this piece and Kerouac and Ginsberg are shitheads for convincing him to publish it.

good god no. one of the worst books I've ever read twice

Sure. It certainly wasn't what I expected (a lot more juvenile and frank than I would have thought), and sometimes it was pretty disgusting or kind of obscurantist, but it had many good parts in it and I'm glad I read it.

That's how I feel about Mulholland Drive, but everyone wants to castrate me for it.
