A lacerating satire, an exorcism of demons, a grotesque cabinet of horrors, it is the Black Book of the Beat Generation, the forerunner of the psychedelic counterculture, and a progenitor of postmodernism and the digital age. A work of excoriating laughter, linguistic derangement, and transcendent beauty, it remains both influential and inimitable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is the first book devoted in its entirety to William Burroughs' masterpiece, bringing together an international array of scholars, artists, musicians, and academics from many fields to explore the origins, writing, reception, and complex meanings of \u003ci\u003eNaked Lunch\u003c\/i\u003e. Tracking the legendary book from Texas and Mexico to New York, Tangier, and Paris, \u003ci\u003eNaked Lunch@50\u003c\/i\u003e significantly advances our understanding and appreciation of this most elusive and uncanny of texts.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeith Albarn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEric Andersen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGail-Nina Anderson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTh駮phile Aries\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJed Birmingham \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShaun de Waal \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Doyle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoren Glass\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOliver Harris\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKurt Hemmer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllen Hibbard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRob Holton\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew Hussey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRob Johnson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJean-Jacques Lebel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIan MacFadyen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolina Mackay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJonas Mekas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarry Miles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eR.
