Junky

Burroughs, William S. 1914-1997 (Author). Smith, T. Ryder. (Narrator). Nelson, Mark. (Narrator). Garman, Andrew. (Narrator). Recorded Books, LLC. (Added Author). OneClick Digital (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: 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 junk neighborhoods in New York, New Orleans and Mexico City, through time spent kicking, time spent dealing and time rolling drunks for money, through junk sickness and a sanatorium, Junky is a field report (by a writer trained in anthropology at Harvard) from the American post-war drug underground. A cult classic, it has influenced generations of writers with its raw, sparse and unapologetic tone.
