Utterly baffling. I still don't understand most of the story, because the way he writes is like his brain opened up and word-vomited his nightmares on the page.. But also partly because I couldn't read one or two pages at a time before being hit by a sudden urge to write my ass off. I started writing three short stories while I was reading this.. the insane jumbled sentences & descriptions really did it for me!! I also found Naked Lunch fascinating because of the author's history with drugs (the fact that he's done everything in the [metaphorical] book is obvious, even if you hadn't known about Burroughs before picking this up) & how he describes his experiences in the post-'narrative' chapters. Will probably read again, but not any time soon.
