Junkie.

"He is the only American novelist living today who may, conceivably, be possessed by genius". Norman Mailer

William Burroughs, author of "The Naked Lunch" tells his own harsh story of drug addiction. It is not a book for the easily shocked. It is violent and uncompromising. It is also totally honest.

From the soft drug world of marijuana to the mind-shattering horrors of heroin. This is a story that has, rightly, become a modern classic.

This edition includes Preface, Notes and Glossary.
