«El almuerzo desnudo» is the novel by William S. Burroughs, published by Ediciones Júcar in paperback (220 pages, in Spanish).
The protagonist, William Lee, an addict with several identities, travels an itinerary that goes from the United States to Mexico, Tangier and the Interzone. The vignettes, designed to be read in any order, collect the author's experiences with drugs. The work is a dreamlike and sardonic denunciation against control, institutions and normative language.
The novel was originally published in 1959 under the title The Naked Lunch; this Spanish edition from 1989 is part of the Colección Etiqueta Rota no. 11.
Demanding work, aimed at readers of experimental narrative and classics of twentieth-century literature.
William Seward Burroughs II was an American writer and visual artist. He is widely considered a primary figure of the Beat Generation and a major postmodern author who influenced both underground and popular culture and literature. Much of Burroughs's work is highly experimental and features unreliable narrators. Also noted as semi-autobiographical, his work often drew from his experiences with drug addiction, and featured his various places of residence as settings in much of his work. With Brion Gysin, Burroughs popularized the cut-up, an aleatory literary technique. His writing also engaged frequent mystical, occult, or otherwise magical themes, constant preoccupations in both his fiction and real life.
