TIGER

I didn't know who they were or what they wanted when they came out of the night. They looked like nice enough kids from nice enough families, but they turned into bloodthirsty tigers and nearly killed me-FOR FUN!

They marked my body with their blows, they marked my soul with hatred. I had to find them, but the police couldn't help me, my wife begged me to forget, the kids themselves sent a message to quit-OR DIE!

But nothing could stop me, for now I was a tiger, too, a tiger who hunted by night-AND BY DAY!

First and foremost among the "Beat Generation" writers is the name of William Burroughs, mentor and friend of Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Holmes. Noe catching the attention of the literary world with his novel NAKED LUNCH, Burroughs' most significant work is his unforgettable autobiographical book JUNKIE.

JUNKIE, surely the first book of the Beats, was published by Ace Books. A much sought-after volume, this striking account of the world of the narcotic and the socially rebellious, is a shocking, violent, and brilliantly objective account of an unredeemed dope addict and his experiences in the U.S.

Reading JUNKIE is a once-in-a-life-time experience.
