Burroughs and his "cut-up" style in Naked Lunch are fascinating. Although I am speechless when confronted with a work like Naked Lunch, I plan to read more of his novels, which bring to mind the better postmodern fiction from some of my favorite writers. Moreover, Burroughs always has something interesting to say about narcotics and his interest in anthropology and ideas of science fiction are clever, horrifying, and intriguing. At times, Naked Lunch reminded me of Lovecraft because of the author's cleverly constructed universe that blends fact and fiction with occult allusions.
