I'm happy to see someone else mention this writer (as well as to see a blog post that actually talks about other literature).

I haven't yet read Naked Lunch (though I soon plan to), nor read any other Burroughs works, but I could imagine myself agreeing with you. My friend and roommate's read most of the book, and I've read some rather obscure and disturbing quotes and excerpts.

"My cock spurts soft diamonds in the morning sunlight!"

A repulsive, yet enjoyable detail.

Banned and controversial books are truly the best and most original reads. Naked Lunch is one of the works that prove this.
