| Description: |
In this brief and humorous satire, a man trapped in the bosom of the most venal media clique in London is losing his heart to a magazine columnist, about to lose his job at a magazine, losing his mind to cocaine, and losing his soul to a newspaper columnist, the kingpin of media scandal. |
| Synopsis: |
I received William Burroughs's seminal (in more sense than one!) novel Naked Lunch as a form prize when I was fifteen. I read it with a distinct sense of horripilation, as if the vile secretions it described might ooze through the pages and the orgiastic rituals it depicted were subject to incorporation into my own, fevered imagination. |
