Book Synopsis
Naked Lunch was banned, ridiculed, and castigated on publication in 1959. Tracing its origins from Texas to Tangier, from Mexico City to New York and Paris, crossing time zones and cultures, this book helps understands this most influential but elusive of texts.

Trade Review
I can think of no other work of literary criticism that brings together such a multiplicity of artists, practitioners, and critics in such a dynamic assembly of writing forms. The resulting symbiosis strikes me as a whole new critical form, utterly pertinent to Burroughs' milieu. - Michael Hrebeniak, author of Action Writing: Jack Kerouac's Wild Form
