Originally written in 1952 but not published till 1985, Queer is an
enigma - both an unflinching autobiographical self-portrait and a
coruscatingly political novel, Burroughs' only realist love story
and a montage of comic-grotesque fantasies that paved the way for
his masterpiece, Naked Lunch. Set in Mexico City during the early
fifties, Queer follows William Lee's hopeless pursuit of desire
from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene. As Lee breaks
down, the trademark Burroughsian voice emerges; a maniacal mix of
self-lacerating humor and the Ugly American at his ugliest. A
haunting tale of possession and exorcism, Queer is also a novel
with a history of secrets, as this new edition reveals.
