You should try to find a copy of The Naked Lunch that includes the transcripts of the trial, where writers such as Norman Mailer defend Burroughs' work as art. Back in the day this book was smuggled through countries like an illicit substance. There is an excellent BBC radio documentary on Burroughs narrated by none other than Iggy Pop. It should be on the This American Life (NPR) archives.
