It's incoherent, non-linear, stream-of-consciousness writing. With a lot of graphic sex. I picked it up because it seems to be one of the seminal (er, ahem) pillars of influence for later surrealist authors.Spoiler: It is Burroughs' incoherent, drug-addled, quasi-memoir. Like 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', but without a plot.It was an interesting book. We had it in a high school library, and it was always checked out. Now I finally understand why it was always checked out - by guys. I don't know who vetted that book, but it was in the sci-fi section. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trip *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2022* This book is quite the ride into the weird. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s very easy to criticize someone if you’ve never been in the ... *by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2018* It’s very easy to criticize someone if you’ve never been in the same position. While I will agree with some things stated above I think Naked Lunch was a view inside the mind of a man born before his time. If this book would have been written in the last 10 years or so I don’t think it would’ve had as much negativity and frankly wouldn’t have gotten such a poor mix of reviews. This book is in its own category compared to others. I think William Burroughs was a brilliant writer and was going for the shock value that he had so eloquently written. Naked Lunch was a work of art put into words. And the good thing about art is that its objective. It doesn’t have to make sense it just is what it is. He seemed to be a very sick man mentally as well as being spun out of his mind when writing Naked Lunch. However, I think being an avid drug user helped him to write a lot of what we don’t see inside the drug world that does happen. He takes you into the underground world of fetish and S&M lifestyle mixed with a beautiful cocktail of drugs swimming on the pages around you. He is like the Andy Warhol of writing, the Willy Wonka of stories. His imagination is truly unique. Whether it’s all true or not doesn’t matter. He has written something that no other authors can ever come close to.I don’t think when William wrote Naked Lunch he would have ever imagined the amount of value he added to the writing community. I also believe he opened the doors on homosexuality that he himself had hidden from everyone out of fear of being locked away in a nut house. What people don’t understand scares them and not understanding the pain and grief he must’ve felt hurts me. So many times, out of fear we don’t often say how we feel and I’m sure it was quite hard for him to put this book into words. Even more so how hard it was for him to hide who he really was. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1216269-naked-lunch-the-restored-text](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1216269-naked-lunch-the-restored-text) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
