«Junky» is the semi-autobiographical novel by William S. Burroughs, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (270 pages, in French).
With an autobiographical background, the novel follows William Lee, William S. Burroughs's fictional double, in his drift through heroin. The journey goes from New York to Mexico City and crosses addiction, withdrawal, prison and flight; the drug appears not as a pleasure, but as an absolute way of life.
Edition from the Folio collection (number 4750), with an introduction by Allen Ginsberg. Translation by Catherine Cullaz and Jean-René Major. Work originally published in 1953.
For readers of twentieth-century classics interested in autobiographical narrative about addiction and the postwar drug subculture.
Benjamin Samuel Williams, English orchidologist and nurseryman in London, known mainly for his horticultural notes on orchids in publications such as The Orchid Grower's Manual, Select Orchidaceous Plants and The Orchid Album.
