Complex short work that includes a suggestion of a eutopia based on Libertalia settlement possibly established by the pirate Captain Misson (ca 1660-ca 1690s) on Madagascar together with an authoritarian dystopia that fails to contain plagues unleashed by its own actions. 1981 Burroughs is also partially based on the pirate settlement.

Unusually for Burroughs, this novel includes a eutopia as well as a dystopia. The eutopia is based on the Libertalia community possibly founded by the pirate Captain Misson (ca 1660-ca 1690s) on Madagascar and is set in the eighteenth century. The dystopian material is typical Burroughs and is set in the twentieth century. Similar to 1991 Burroughs, which also uses the settlement. First volume of a trilogy that includes his 1983\ The Place of Dead Roads\ and his 1987\ The Western Lands.

Also pub. as Naked Lunch. New York: Grove Press, 1962. These two editions differ substantially. Grove Press ed. rpt. New York: Grove Press, 1992. UK ed. as The Naked Lunch. London: John Calder in association with Olympia Press, 1964. Something approaching a critical edition is Naked Lunch: The Restored Text. Ed. James Grauerholz and Barry Miles. New York: Grove Press, 2001. This edition corrects errors and adds \“Original Introductions and Additions by the Author\” (197-229) and \“Burroughs Texts Annexed by the Editors\” (231-89), which includes \“Editors\&$\#$39; Note\” (233-47). Rpt. as 50th Anniversary Edition. New York: Grove Press, 2009 with an added \“Afterword\” by David L. Ulin (291-99). A bibliographic nightmare in that all the early editions differ because they are based on different versions of the text and have added differing front and back matter. Parts were originally published as by William Lee [pseud.] as \“From: Naked Lunch, Book III: In Search of Yage.\” Black Mountain Review, no. 7 (Autumn 1957): 144-48; \“Have You Seen Pantapon Done.\” Yugen (New York), no. 3 (1958): 4-5; \“Excerpt from Naked Lunch.\” Chicago Review 12.1 (Spring 1958): 25-30; and \“Chapter 2 of Naked Lunch.\” Chicago Review 12.3 (Autumn 1958): 3-12. When further sections were stopped by the University of Chicago, Big Table was established to publish them and despite police attention published \“Ten Episodes from Naked Lunch.\” Big Table, no. 1 (Spring 1959): 79-137; and \“In Quest of Yage.\” Big Table 2 (Summer 1959): 44-64.\
