William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch is a revolutionary work that shatters traditional narrative structure, presenting a hallucinatory journey through addiction, sexuality, and social control. Originally controversial for its explicit content, the novel remains a landmark of experimental literature that challenges readers' understanding of language and perception. Burroughs creates a fragmented, visceral exploration of human experience at the margins of society.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because literature should sometimes feel like a punch to the consciousness, no holds barred.
