'Burroughs is a real writer with an instinct and respect for language. He alsó has a compulsive loathing for American middle-class life and he attacks it with the weapons closest to hand - the party prowler equipped with his sperm-filled water pistol for impregnating career women is very funny.' Observer 'In Naked Lunch Burroughs has banished psychology and realism in order to invent a new approach to the növel - a delirious exploration of sexual violence through the art of collage.' EDMUND WHITE, Time Out 'Naked Lunch is a masterpiece, a cry from hell, a terrifying and savagely funny book that swings between uncontrolled hallucination and a fierce, exact satire.' Newsweek 'A furious apocalypse, splendid and exasperating.' Sunday Times 'A book of great beauty and maniacally exquisite delight.' NORMAN MAILER Vissza
