Synopsis

William S. Burroughs's debut novel is a raw, unflinching look at addiction and the desperate search for a fix. Told in a detached, matter-of-fact style, the narrative follows the author's own experiences through the underbelly of society. From gritty New York streets to a Kentucky rehab clinic and the vibrant, dangerous streets of Mexico, this book explores the harsh realities of drug dependency.
