Naked Lunch (sometimes The Naked Lunch) is a 1959 novel by American writer William S. Burroughs. The book is structured as a series of loosely connected vignettes. The reader follows the narration of junkie William Lee, who takes on various aliases, from the . to Mexico, eventually to Tangier and the dreamlike Interzone.

Burroughs' 'Naked Lunch' is a lot like that. Reporting from the interior of the Interzone and various heroin-induced locales, William Burroughs and his alter-ego (variously named at various times) offers this 'live album' of what it's like to inject yourself with heroin and walk on that side of your consciousness. A challenging read, it was pretty much banned in the US when first published in the 1950s.

The book is structured as a series of loosely connected vignettes  . If not for the intervention of William S. Burroughs friends, Naked Lunch would have never seen the light of day. Peter Orlovsky, Allen Ginsberg, and Jack Kerouac decided to visit Burroughs in Tangiers and see if they could salvage any of the fragmented writing that had been dripping from the mind of Burroughs while he was nurs The title means exactly what the words say: NAKED lunch-a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of the fork.

His acclaimed publications, notably 'The Naked Lunch', 'The Soft Machine', 'The Ticket That Exploded' and 'Nova Express', exhibited the "cut-up" technique first espoused by fellow-writer Bryon Gysin, in which passages and texts were cut and reassembled to create unconscious writing. The pair subsequently brought the same method to recording during their stay at the "Beat Hotel' in Paris. Burroughs' experimental nature and his espousal of drug use made him an attractive figure of the 60's counter-culture.

William S. Burroughs - the Beat Gen provocateur who passed away in 1997 at the impressive age of 83 - is posthumously releasing a few shocking readings of his drugged up, non-linear 1959 novel Naked Lunch as a psychedelic spoken word album titled Let Me Hang You, reports the New York Times. It's a project Burroughs began near the end of his life, originally intending to pair them will experimental music from guitarist and composer Bill Frisell, pianist Wayne Horvitz, and the violist Eyvind Kang

Squatting on old bones and excrement and rusty iron, in a white blaze of heat, a panorama of naked idiots stretches to the horizon. Complete silence – their speech centers are destroyed – except for the crackle of sparks and the popping of singed flesh as they apply electrodes up and down the spine. White smoke of burning flesh hangs in the motionless air.
