Postmodernist Fiction and Consciousness: A Study of William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch.
- Authors
Sinha, Baby Pushpa
- Abstract
Burroughs' career as a writer started when he began to record his experiences as an addict at the age of thirty five. Naked Lunch is his first mature work as an artist, the novel that established his reputation as an important writer and the one that still receives the most critical attention. It proposes to examine the effects of addiction to opiates, its treatment and remedy. The novel, consequently explores experiences, memories and hallucinations that accrue as a consequence of being in such a state and its cures.
