Description
The book is structured as a series of loosely connected vignettes. Burroughs stated that the chapters are intended to be read in any order. The reader follows the narration of junkie William Lee, who takes on various aliases, from the U.S. to Mexico, eventually to Tangier and the dreamlike Interzone.
The vignettes are drawn from Burroughs' own experiences in these places and his addiction to drugs (heroin, morphine, and while in Tangier, majoun [a strong hashish confection] as well as a German opioid, brand name Eukodol, of which he wrote frequently).

Why did I add this book to my wishlist? Why did I waste a perfectly good point on PaperBackSwap to receive this book? I guess I don't mind stream of consciousness if it is intelligible. I couldn't understand what was going on and didn't get very far in the book. I checked out a few other books and saw that one person didn't like it until the 3rd time s/he picked it up. I want to like the book at least semi-decently the 1st time I pick it up. No, thank you!
