CONCEPT
Feelings are not based on logic.
Trust your gut feeling. It is not based on logic. Inspired by William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch. From the 1950s Beat Generation.
—
Naked Lunch (1959)
Burroughs stated that the chapters are intended to be read in any order, no logical order.
The vignettes are drawn from Burroughs' own experience in these places, and it contains
content dealing with same-sex relations, pedophilia, sex, violence and his addiction to
drugs. The reader follows the narration of junkie William Lee, who takes on various aliases,
from the US to Mexico, and the dreamlike Interzone.
