[BURROUGHS, WILLIAM]. JUNKIE (Originally published under the pen-name of William Lee).
New York: Ace Books, (1952). 18mo, 149pp, lurid pictorial wrappers. Published dos-a-dos with Maurice Helbrant's Narcotic Agent. Very good copy, no crack to spine, preserved in a cloth folding case. ¶ First Edition, signed 'William S. Burroughs, for William Lee,' together with a POSTCARD signed by the author.. William S. Burroughs (b.1914) is clearly the most important writer on the drug experience in American literature since the days of Poe and Ludlow. In contrast to the hallucinated style of his later works, Burroughs' first book is a spare, Hemingwayesque account of the drug underworlds of New York City and elsewhere. Maynard & Miles, William S. Burroughs, A Bibliography, Ala. Phantastica 32.
