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 vignettes which Burroughs called "routines" 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 with the brand name Eukodol oxycodone , of which he wrote frequently. Because of US obscenity laws , [4] a complete American edition by Grove Press did not follow until It was titled Naked Lunch and was substantially different from the Olympia Press edition because it was based on an earlier manuscript in Allen Ginsberg 's possession.

Heavily inspired by Brion Gynsin's "cut-up technique," in which text is cut up and rearranged to create new sentences, Burroughs claimed that Naked Lunch could be "cut into at any point. The book begins with the misadventures of Burroughs' alter-ego, William Lee also referred to as "Lee the Agent". Lee is attempting to flee to the West and evade the pursuing police, all while desperately seeking his next "fix.

Insight is gained into Lee's fractured psyche as he provides commentaries on a plethora of topics, from drugs, drug users, and addiction; to policemen, politicians, and corporations; to spiritual righteousness, secular wickedness, and overall neutrality.
Naked Lunch is William S. Burroughs' most famous novel. First published in Paris 50 years ago, the book was written in the Moroccan port of Tangier — in the company of drug dealers and pimps.
