Burroughss early, long-unpublished novel, now a cult classic and a highly regarded part of his oeuvre</strong></p><p>Originally written in 1952 but not published till 1985, <em>Queer</em> is an enigma. Both an unflinching autobiographical self-portrait and a coruscatingly political novel, it is both Burroughss only realist love story and a montage of comic-grotesque fantasies that paved the way for his masterpiece, <em>Naked Lunch</em>. Set in Mexico City during the early fifties, <em>Queer</em> follows William Lee, the protagonist of Burroughss debut novel <em>Junky</em>, a man afflicted with acute heroin withdrawal and romantic yearnings for Eugene Allerton. As Lee breaks down over the course of his hopeless pursuit of desire from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene, the trademark Burroughsian voice emerges, a maniacal mix of self-lacerating humor and the ugly American at his ugliest. Now reissued on the seventieth anniversary of the year of its writing, this edition of <em>Queer</em> features a contextualizing introduction by the eminent Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris.</p>...1190587Queer251349https://www.gandhi.com.mx/queer-9/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/343954/29f6c413-2d59-4532-87c8-aa79acb2b85a.jpg?v=638334325322270000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20229780802160577_W3siaWQiOiJmZmQ2NTM0Yi0xNDhiLTRjYmEtYmQzMS1kMjBmZTAyODIzMzYiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMzOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjk1LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjI0NCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjItMDktMDlUMTY6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780802160577_<p><strong>A haunting tale of possession and exorcism, now reissued on the seventieth anniversary of the year of its writing, the definitive text of William S.
