Nice condition vintage copy of "NAKED LUNCH" by William S. Burroughs. 1959 1st edition, 12th printing (stated); Grove Press; New York. From a review:  "(The book) tells the story of a drug addict's bizarre experiences in a dreamlike landscape, which is populated by grotesque creatures known as Mugwumps, and where taboo acts such as rape and murder are committed constantly with no consequences. 'Naked Lunch' is one of the best-known works by William S. Burroughs, largely due to its reputation as one of the most 'obscene' pieces of literature ever published. Burroughs was even taken to court over it, but his eventual victory in that trial actually played a key role in the overturning of American obscenity laws."
