About this listen
This is an unnerving tale of a narcotics addict unmoored in New York, Tangiers, and, ultimately, a nightmarish wasteland known as Interzone. The restored text includes many editorial corrections and incorporates Burroughs's notes on the text and several essays he wrote over the years about the book. For the Burroughs enthusiast and neophyte alike, this is a valuable and fresh experience of this classic of our culture.

"A masterpiece. A cry from hell, a brutal, terrifying, and savagely funny book that swings between uncontrolled hallucination and fierce, exact satire." ( Newsweek)

Unfinished business.
I bought my first copy of Naked Lunch in the sixties in the UK. I choked on it many times, unable to digest more than a few chapters. I got busy with life, but now retired have the time to catch up. Audible opened the door, and I listened instead of read NL. It’s all I wanted it to be, a work of art, a flow of consciousness, vivid description, experiential insights in unimaginable ( to most ) worlds, outside the accepted social constructs, where true art lies. It was worth the wait !!

Beautifully Foul
A wonderfully disgusting book with something to say, and a perfect narration. Excellently written and spoken.

Amazing!
This book was beautifully disgusting. I found myself lost inside the twisted world of Naked Lunch. Mark Bramhall’s performance suited the text and subject matter perfectly. A must listen!

Postmodern Public Mental Masturba***
In an attempt to be “in your face” this work just ends up being vulgar. Typical of 1960’s counterculture.

Directionless word salad
The author himself stated that he wrote a good portion of this book while high, and I believe it. This is a pointless, directionless stream-of-consciousness word salad, with very little actual substance/story. The narrator did well, but the experience of listening to this still made me feel at best like I was trapped on the subway with someone very high, very talkative, and eager to repeat the words c*nt, c*ck, *ss, and sh*t as much as possible to anyone who was listening. I so, so badly wish I could give it a 0/5, but here we are.
