Title: A shocking and surreal account of heroin addiction
Review: Junky is one of those books that makes you feel weird and detatched as you read it. As you read you feel and see William S. Burroughs' hallucinations. You feel his desparation as he and his friends frantically search for a fix. Books that make me feel something I've never felt before really impress me. William S. Burroughs was a great writer because he had the ability to do that to many people who received his writings and his ideas with open minds. Junky is so real, yet so unreal at the same time. It floats between the two and once in a while touches down to reality to "snap you out of it." Junky makes you realize just how serious and involved heroin addiction really is. Sometimes there's not even a way out. It seems kind of like purgatory in a sense. You're held in limbo waiting for your next fix."Junk is not, like alcohol or weed, a means to increased enjoyment of life. Junk is not a kick. It is a way of life." Junky, William S. Burroughs
