Miroslav Bodanský Book order

The anarchic, phenomenally strong-selling classic from the godfather of the Beats, featuring for the first time the restored text, all the accompanying essays, and newly discovered material from the original manuscript.

'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' William Burroughs, legendary drug addict, founder member of the Beats and author of Naked Lunch, relates with unflinching realism the addict's life: from initial heroin bliss to an unabated hunger for the needle, and the horrors of cold turkey and back again. An original, first-hand account which outraged 50s America, Junky remains one of the most raw and mesmerising accounts of heroin addiction ever written. 'As vital and visceral as ever' Daily Telegraph
