"Junk is not, like alcohol or a weed, a means to increased enjoyment of life. Junk is not a kick. It is a way of life. In his debut novel,Junky, Burroughs fictionalized his experiences using & peddling heroin & other drugs in the 1950s into a work that reads like a field report from the underworld of post-war America. The Burroughs-like protagonist of the novel, Bill Lee, see-saws between periods of addiction and rehab, using a panoply of substances including heroin, cocaine, marijuana, paregoric (a weak tincture of opium) and goof balls (barbiturate), amongst others. For this definitive edition, renowned Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris has gone back to archival typescripts to re-created the author's original text word by word. From the tenements of New York to the queer bars of New Orleans, Junky takes the reader into a world at once long-forgotten & still with us today. Burroughs's first novel is a cult classic and a critical part of his oeuvre." Contents include: Editor's intro / Prologue / Junky / Glossary / Appendices: 1. Chapter 28 of the Original "Junk" Manuscript; 2. "Introduction" to the Original "Junk" manuscript; 3. Letter from William Burroughs to A. A. Wyn [1959]; 4.

Burroughs wrote Junk, his first book, a candid, eyewitness account of times and places that are now long gone. This book brings them vividly to life again; it is an unvarnished field report from the American postwar underground. For this definitive 50th-anniversary edition, eminent Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris has painstakingly re-created the author's original text, word by word, from archival typescripts.
