Sobre este artículo
Paris: Olympia Press, 1959. Near fine in a near fine jacket.. First edition, first issue of Burroughs' drug-fueled Beat masterpiece - in exceptional condition. A landmark novel that led to several important court decisions on indecency and censorship. Certainly Burroughs' best-known work (it was successfully adapted by David Cronenberg into a fine film of the same name), it is also arguably Burroughs' best, most enduring, and precient as well. Indeed, for better or worse, Burroughs's "Interzone" increasingly resembles our current world. Published by Maurice Girodias's infamous Olympia Press, a beautiful example of a highspot of 20th century American literature. 7'' x 4.25''. Original green printed wraps. In original unclipped (1500 francs) color pictorial dustjacket designed by the author. The Traveler's Companion Series No. 76. 232 pages. Jacket spine mildly toned, with a couple of tiny chips to head. Book has old penned price to front endpaper and trace shelfwear to extremities. Else both jacket and book remarkably bright, clean, and sharp overall. Housed in a quarter black leather over black cloth custom clamshell.
Sinopsis
Naked Lunch (sometimes referred to as The Naked Lunch) is a novel by William S. Burroughs originally published in 1959. The book was originally published with the title The Naked Lunch in Paris in 1959 by Olympia Press. An American edition by Grove Press followed soon after in 1962. The American edition was titled Naked Lunch and was substantially different from the Olympia Press edition, because it was based on an earlier 1958 manuscript in Allen Ginsberg's possession.
