This is an unnerving tale of a narcotics addict unmoored in New York, Tangiers, and, ultimately, a nightmarish wasteland known as Interzone. The restored text includes many editorial corrections and incorporates Burroughs's notes on the text and several essays he wrote over the years about the book. For the Burroughs enthusiast and neophyte alike, this is a valuable and fresh experience of this classic of our culture.

Reviews
"William was a Shootist. He shot like he wrote - with extreme precision and no fear." (Hunter S. Thompson, Rolling Stone)
"A masterpiece. A cry from hell, a brutal, terrifying, and savagely funny book that swings between uncontrolled hallucination and fierce, exact satire." ( Newsweek)

Attention this classic book is about shooting up heroin, countless graphic acts of sex (mostly homosexual men but some straight sex), murder, snuff films, detectives, double agents, disjointed paranoid vignettes. So if you do not want to read this stuff, don’t. If you like John Waters films, or anything punk, try it.
Burroughs’ book is a 1959 masterpiece which revolutionized the novel, narratology, paved the way for the 60’s and 70’s, and was of course part of the literature of the Beat Generation (Ginsberg, Kerouac, Ferlinghetti, Burroughs, Cassidy, Corso, Snyder, et al.)
Stunning narration of a classic psychotic novel
