Junky (Penguin Essentials)

'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 S. 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-handed account which outraged fifties America, Junky remains one of the most raw and mesmerizing accounts of heroin addiction ever written.
