Title: Self-indulgent
Review: I enjoy reading literature, and am rarely disappointed when I read a book that has been labeled a classic. "Naked Lunch" is an exception. I had to force myself to finish this book, because it just did not really hold my interest at all. Although I could appreciate the dark, twisted, imaginative imagery, there was just no real story to speak of. There were hints of satire here and there, but then the prose would just descend into an incoherent mess. I can only recommend this book as a cautionary tale about the nightmarish, horrifying, delusional state that being a heroin junkie must put you in.For a more clear and coherent surreal pornographic nightmare, I'd recommend "Story of the Eye" ...
