一部以平实客观的笔调叙述作者吸毒生涯的半自传体记录。故事辗转于纽约的偏僻街巷、肯塔基州的戒毒医院、新奥尔良的酒吧,直至墨西哥,详细叙述了获取毒品的艰难、经济困境以及同性邂逅。Burroughs凭借这部处女作小说,极大地拓宽了出版物尺度的边界。

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • William S. Burroughs 的处女作《Junky》就带了这么一份词汇表。当时它是作为火车站廉价消遣读物出版的,根本算不上严肃艺术(capital-A art),所以有必要向通勤读者解释像“croaker”和“cool”这类黑话词汇。

    William S. Burroughs' first work Junky came with a glossary like this. It was published as a trashy train station book rather than capital-A art, so it was necessary to explain words like "croaker" and "cool" to the commuter audience.

  • ……成瘾者。在监狱里,他们出不去买不到更多的 junk,所以戒断成功率是 100%。最难的部分是后续保持不复吸。海洛因在“垮掉的一代”中非常流行。在《Junky》一书中,William Burroughs 描述了他是如何自愿要求入狱的。他当时居住地的警局推行了一项类似于 Gloucester 的计划,吸毒者可以用他们的“工具”来换取……

    …addicts. In jail, they can't leave to buy more junk, so they'll overcome withdrawals with a 100% success rate. The hard part is staying clean. Heroin use was popular in the Beatnik generation. In the book Junky, William Burroughs describes how had himself jailed voluntarily. Police stations where he was living at the time had a program similar to Gloucester's where users would bring in their "works" in exchange…

  • iOS 上有没有能索引 ubuweb 的 App 呀?我注意到上面有 Burroughs 自己朗读的《Junky》,听起来肯定超带感,但音频被切得太碎了,在路上随走随听有点折腾。

    Is there an app on iOS that indexes ubuweb, I noticed Junky read by Burroughs there which would be a fascinating listen, but it comes in lots of pieces and consuming it on the run seems somewhat tricky
