Description: "The Naked Lunch" by William Burroughs The Olympia Press, Paris 1st Printing, July 1959 Condition: Good Binding solid/sound, edge wear on spine, red smudges on front cover, small creases at corners, a few light creases on covers. Interesting artwork sketch on front endpaper. No other markings throughout text. Description: Vibing on The Beats with a book that caused a sh*tstorm, especially at The Chicago Review and subsequent bans all over the US. Scarce in any condition, this book hits all first issue points with original price of Francs 1.500 on back corner and the title page has the green border. Lacking original dust wrapper. Burrough's seminal work described by Norman Mailer as "a book of beauty, great difficulty and maniacally exquisite insight". Grove Press pushed through and published the 1st US Edition in 1962. I will pack safely and insure! Let me know if questions or need to see more photos!
