description: One of the creative visionaries of the Beat movement recites the calculus by which heroin redefines the addict's world. Burroughs' quasi-autobiographical narrative makes for a raw, fragmented, and disturbing account of hallucinations, ghostly nocturnal wanderings, strange sexual encounters, and quests to ease the hunger for the needle. Read in the incantational tones fo Burroughs himself, this is the legendary account of one man's challenge to turn self-destruction into art.
