Description: Described by Jack Kerouac as "the greatest satirical writer since Jonathan Swift," William Burroughs is regarded as among the most important writers of the 20th century. Famous for pioneering the cut-up narrative technique, his influence extends beyond literature, having also had an impact on musicians such as Lou Reed, David Bowie, Kurt Cobain and Ian Curtis; he even appeared on the cover of the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Naked Lunch is arguably his most notable, and controversial work. Known for its nonlinear plot and becoming the subject of an obscenity trial, Naked Lunch is considered one of the defining works of the Beat movement. The dystopian novel The Wild Boys, though less famous, was also a significant work. It is perhaps best known for inspiring the Duran Duran song of the same name. This auction for the paperback editions of Naked Lunch and The Wild Boys. Both are in good condition.
