Speed / William Burroughs Jnr. / 1971 / Sphere

Burroughs' autobiographical novel of his methedrine-inspired odyssey through New York's asphalt jungle. Lucid and unsparing depiction of the speed freak's world - hustling for dope and money, harassed by the cops. Killer cover, too.

"...a compelling narrative that balances the meth horrors with the outcast's romantic search for identity." Rolling Stone

With an introduction by Allen Ginsberg.

First Sphere paperback edition. 1971. 192 pages.

Condition: A very good copy with pen writing to corner of first page and age-related yellowing to page edges.
