Queer
25th Anniversary Edition
(Author) William S. BurroughsThis title is an enigma. It is both an unflinching autobiographical self-portrait and a coruscatingly political novel. Set in Mexico City during the early 50s, the book follows William Lee's hopeless pursuit of desire from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene. A haunting tale of possession and exorcism, Queer is also a novel with a history of secrets, as this new edition reveals. Oliver Harris edited The Letters of William S. Burroughs, 1945-1959 and Penguin's fiftieth anniversary edition of Junky.
