Junky

A shocking exposé of the desperate subculture surrounding addiction, William S. Burroughs’ cult classic Junky is now available for the first time on unabridged audio.

Burroughs’ first novel, a largely autobiographical account of the constant cycle of drug dependency, cures, and relapses, remains the most unflinching, unsentimental account of addiction ever written. Through time spent kicking and time spent dealing, through junk sickness and a sanatorium, Junky is a field report from the American postwar drug underground. It has influenced generations of writers with its raw, sparse, and unapologetic tone.
