Naked Lunch is a novel by William S. Burroughs that was first published in 1959. The book is a series of loosely connected vignettes that follow the protagonist, William Lee, as he navigates the seedy underworld of drug addiction and crime.
The novel is known for its experimental style and controversial subject matter, including explicit descriptions of drug use and violence. It has been praised for its dark humor and satirical take on American society.
Naked Lunch has been adapted into a film and has had a lasting impact on literature and popular culture. It is considered a classic of the Beat Generation and a landmark work of postmodern literature.
