More about the book
'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
