Title: Exciting and Excellent early Burroughs
Review: This is one of my favorite works by William S. Burroughs; I have read it twice and probably will again. The hardboiled, Celine-influenced writing style suits the subject matter perfectly. There are some shocking episodes here, and no punches are pulled. Unlike much of WSB's later work, this one has an easy-to-follow narrative, and therefore might be a misleading introduction to Burroughs. If you enjoyed "Naked Lunch" though, take a step back and read this; you'll really enjoy it. This edition gives the complete novel, sans any censorship which marred the early (pre-1976) printings.
