Industry Reviews
"['Junky' is] the first American report on the drug experience and remains the most authentic."
Chicago Tribune Books - Nelson Algren (01/01/1981)
"[The book contains] intelligent fact, the clear perception, precise bare language, direct syntax, & mind pictures--as well as the enormous sociological grasp, culture-revolutionary attitude toward beaurocracy & law, and the stoic cold-humor'd eye on crime."
Introduction - Allen Ginsberg
"So I had written 'Junky', and the motivation for that was comparatively simple: to put down in the most accurate and simple terms my experiences as an addict. I was hoping for publication, money, recognition. Kerouac had published 'The Town and the City' at the same time I started writing 'Junky'. I remembered writing in a letter to him, when his book was published, that money and fame were now assured. As you can see, I knew nothing about the writing business at the time."
William S. Burroughs
