Before his 1959 breakthrough, "Naked Lunch," an unknown William S. Burroughs wrote "Junk," his first book, a candid, eyewitness account of times and places that are now long gone. This book brings them vividly to life again; it is an unvarnished field report from the American postwar underground. For this definitive 50th-anniversary edition, eminent Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris has painstakingly re-created the author's original text, word by word, from archival typescripts.

Harris's comprehensive Introduction reveals the composition history of "Junk"'s text and places its contents against a lively historical background.
